MENDOZA-ROBLES, Ricardo; PARRA-INZUNZA, Filemón y DE LOS RIOS-CARMENADO, Ignacio. Fruit production activity in three municipalities in Puebla’s Sierra Nevada: characteristics, organizations and appreciation strategy for development. agric. soc. desarro [online]. 2010, vol.7, n.3, pp.229-245. ISSN 1870-5472.
The importance of the fruit production sector in Sierra Nevada, Puebla, México, lies in that it can constitute the economic motor of the current diversified production and marketing system. Using the European LEADER methodology and the value chain approach, a model was developed to evaluate local production, and it was partially applied to the fruit production sector. Results indicate that productive, marketing and institutional processes have a low efficiency level; that it is possible to triple the current peach production, that some agronomic and marketing actions are doubling the production value and tripling the transformation value, and the most important thing, that these values can be improved. We conclude that it is feasible to detonate a process of fruit production development, based on an appreciation model that includes the following elements: territorial approach, ascending approach (bottom-up), and conformation of a Local Action Group, an innovation strategy based on steps and actions directed at promoting improved production, transformation, marketing, institutional participation processes and links with other sectors, network organization for producers and commerce, and management of fruit production projects' strategy and financing.
