Προσθήκη ετικέτας | Περίληψη: | Cacao beans are known in Ecuador as the "goldnugget." This product has had great influence for several centuries in the political, social and economic development of our nation. The exports of cacao beans generated foreign exchange in the country and therefore originated the first economic boom, developing important sectors such as banking, industry and trade. Ecuadorian President, Rafael Correa (in office since 2007), promotes the change of the productive matrix of the country, which aims to decrease the dependence on imports of final goods through industrialization (SENPLADES, 2009). However, according to a statistical report presented by the FAOSTAT in 2015 the cacao exports (2002-2012), remain mostly as raw material in the form of beans (about 96,201 tons per year). Even though, the profit of the industrialized goods exports, like cocoa butter and chocolate are over 238% and 372%, in the same period of time. In this context, the development of a value chain for cacao beans represents a very interesting case of study, because it fits perfectly in the process of changing the productive matrix of the country. Nevertheless, this process will require the intervention of several agents and should be reinforced by the government through the establishment of public policies. This research focuses on the study of public policies established in the 2007-2014 period. The main objective is to measure the effectiveness in the process of change of the productive matrix and simultaneously define in which stage of the chaining is located the process to add value to the production of chocolate. |
