Caracterización de productores del cultivo de aguacate Hass (Persea americana) del municipio de Guayatá, Boyacá por intermedio del Registro de Usuarios de Extensión Agropecuaria – (RUEA).

Abstract

The agricultural sector is one of the most important, since it contributes to maintaining the food security of the country, however, factors such as little opportunity for education, poor road and housing infrastructure, difficulty in its economic development and lack of technical advice in the crops, show that it is one of the least attended sectors of the country. In the municipality of Guayata-Boyacá, together with the association of avocado producers of Valle De Tenza, it was observed that one of the problems is the lack of technical advice in the municipality's crops and mainly in avocado crops. Due to this, the main objective of this project is to characterize the producers of Hass avocado (Persea americana) located in the rural area of the municipality of Guayatá - Boyacá through the RUEA (unique registry of agricultural extension) and thus be able to determine strategies and recommendations. that allow to offer technical assistance to said producers of the municipality. For this purpose, an exploratory methodology was proposed, through field trips, surveys and socializations with farmers, with which it was possible to conclude that the municipality has characteristics such as height above sea level, water sources, availability of land suitable for good development of this type of crop, however the long distances from the farms and the little knowledge of GAP (good agricultural practices) on the part of the farmers, mean that the provision of technical assistance is not carried out correctly.
