Abstract

In the production of vegetables in the Caribbean Region there is no production chain organization, which is manifested in the unequal distribution of added value and low competitiveness. The objective of this work was to determine the aspects that impede the integration of the vegetable value chain in the Caribbean Region of Colombia. The absence of the integration of the components makes production inefficient and for this reason a study is justified to determine the factors that slow down the integration of the chain. The information was obtained from 63 surveys applied to a sample selected using the simple random sampling technique. A database was built and statistical techniques were applied such as: descriptive, correlation analysis, contingency tables and the design of a Logit-type econometric model that made it possible to measure the probability of integration of the chain and the contribution of each of the variables. in explaining the situation. The results show that the links are not integrated, they do not share information mainly between farmers and consumers. It is concluded that the actors act independently trying to get the best individual benefit without pursuing increases in value within the chain and with unequal distribution of the benefits of production.
