Abstract: This research was carried out in the Association of Workers "Manuel Agustín Medina" belonging to the Socio Bosque Program (PSB) located in southern Ecuador in the canton Yantzaza province of Zamora Chinchipe, is a farm dedicated to agricultural production, has 43 partners, but 24 of them are active. Not having a value-generating production, nor a stable economy, it was necessary to develop a diagnosis of value chains of one of the association's main agricultural products, coffee. The research aims to encourage and identify value-generating strategies, this will allow partners to compete in the national market. The results show that the economy of ASOTMAM is deficient due to the low productive yield and deficiencies in the agricultural production system.
