Agrícola La Danta es una finca que destina el 42 % de su superficie a la producción de piña orgánica desde 2007; el resto de la propiedad se encuentra en áreas de conservación de bosque. En esta finca el cultivo de piña orgánica se ha realizado en suelos con baja fertilidad natural, por lo que se ha precisado de un manejo integrado de la nutrición de la planta, con el fin de cumplir con los estrictos estándares del mercado de exportación. Casi la mitad del territorio de América Latina y el Caribe lo conforman suelos pobres en nutrientes.
The rapid expansion of modern food retail encapsulated in the so-called ‘supermarket revolution’ is often portrayed as a pivotal driving force in the modernization of agri-food systems in the Global South. Based on fieldwork conducted on horticulture value chains in West Java and South Sulawesi, this paper explores this phenomenon and the concerted efforts that government and corporate actors undertake with regard to agri-food value chain interventions and market modernization in Indonesia.
Con el objetivo de conocer las estrategias de comercialización de Walmart y las oportunidades de desarrollo de los pequeños productores hortícolas, se realizó un estudio en Acatzingo, uno de los principales municipios hortícolas del estado de Puebla, México.
