Estrategia de formación para desarrollar actividades de comercio justo en el sector pesquero artesanal en la parroquia Tarqui.

Abstract

Artisanal fishing is no longer an activity of an extractive nature that uses traditional, empirical methods in its process with little technological advance. Ecuador, Manabí, Manta and the Tarqui Parish, given their strategic location in the coastal zone, have broad potential in terms of the development of the artisanal fishing sector. In fact, Manabí is one of the provinces where the highest fishing production, both industrial and artisanal, is recorded. In the country, the artisanal fishing fleet of this province is made up of 7,500 boats and boats. The main objective of this study is to design training strategies to develop fair trade activities in the artisanal fishing sector of the Tarqui Parish. To this end, this research uses a non-experimental research design and a mixed research approach, which It mixes both the use of documentary information and the application of research instruments such as the survey. The main results or findings show that the lack of union on the part of fishermen prevents the establishment of greater associativity, training strengthens the knowledge and skills of fishermen, and the lack of institutional support limits the growth of the industrial fishing sector.
