Mapa de actores vinculados a la producción cafetalera del sur de Ecuador El Oro, Loja, Zamora Chinchipe

Abstract

Abstract: A map of key actors in the coffee production chain was drawn up in order to identify them according to the activities they carry out in the southern provinces of El Oro, Loja and Zamora Chinchipe and their importance and influence with respect to the relationships between actors. A survey was carried out to detect the participants required for the project, then a documented review of government entities and digital repositories of coffee producing associations, government entities, public and private institutions, academic institutions, etc. was carried out. A survey with thirty-eight questions of general and specific information was applied using the Kobocollect program; to carry out the survey, techniques such as the realistic approach (RE) and the snowball (BN) were used, which allowed us to delimit the universe. The structure of the stakeholder analysis graphs was based on variables of relationship intensity and their scope of influence, as well as the management of conflict relations with institutions as intermediaries and finally technical advice from the institutions.
