Aplicación de la metodología de proceso analítico jerárquico (AHP) en la asociatividad del sector porcino del cantón Chone/Ecuador, periodo 2022-2023.

Abstract

The pork production presents marked shortcomings in technical, administrative and managerial aspects, reflecting with this, that there is a limited capacity to generate quality finished products, which comply with concepts corresponding to standardized and efficient production, this as a consequence of the limited transfer of knowledge in Good Agricultural Practices (BPA) and Good Manufacturing Practices (BPM) in rural areas, evidencing a sector with significant rural poverty, which is why it is necessary to apply methodologies to solve these problems. Within the new world trends for the selection of optimal and adequate alternatives to solve specific problems, there is the Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) methodology, which allows comparing qualitative variables, generating quantitative weights from them, which allow finding an answer or suitable alternative to the reality of the studied sector. It is for the above that the determination of an optimal ssociativity model for the needs of the pig production of the Chone canton is proposed, encouraging the generation of groups that allow the individual and collective growth of pig farmers, this through the use of the Analytical ierarchical Process (AHP) methodology, which, through interviews with associativity experts, allowed weightings to be made that respond to the alternatives considered in determining an associative model; It is thanks to all of the aforementioned, that Cooperativism could be determined as the optimal model to apply within the pig production sector, because it responds efficiently to the requirements of the population considered.
