Análisis de la cadena de suministros en la exportación del cacao Ecuatoriano.

Abstract

The Ecuadorian cocoa supply chain is critical for international export, but faces logistical challenges, such as segmentation among key actors, from producers to exporters. This study highlights the need to improve competitiveness in an increasingly demanding global market, where sustainability and responsible practices are crucial. It identifies strategies for optimizing international logistics and strengthening coordination among the different actors in the chain. The vulnerability of the sector to external factors, such as climatic phenomena, that affect cocoa production is highlighted. The analysis aims to improve the competitiveness of Ecuadorian cocoa in the global market, guaranteeing its sustainability and quality. Thus, it seeks to ensure its position as a key product in international exports, promoting more efficient and responsible logistics practices.
