Abstract

The production systems of Peasant, Family–farm, and Community Agriculture (ACFC in Spanish) in Colombia focus on supplying food and products for local and regional circuits. This sector has special conditions, such as limited access to land and means of production, poor technical and financial support, low added value of the production, unequal marketing relationships, and high fluctuation in the demand for its products which does not limit them to remain important suppliers of vegetables in the regional and national markets. The study focused on the characterization of the production and marketing systems of the horticulture segment of the center region of the Department of Nariño (Colombia). Its purpose was to determine the relationships that producer organizations have with markets and to identify possible actions to reduce gaps. The methodological approach contains a conceptual approach to the postulates that govern the marketing circuits and the frameworks that allow to understand the configuration of consumer networks. With information provided from fieldwork presents an analysis of the aspects of production typology, a description of the value chain and networks of actors with whom they cooperate. Finally, the conclusions on marketing dynamics and development scenarios for the horticulture sector in the study region.
