Abstract

The evaluation of a production system allows knowing how producers use their resources, livelihoods and their "know-how" to generate products that allow them to meet their basic needs and generate surpluses to improve their income and quality of life. This study focused on specifying the needs and virtues of the coffee producers of the Vereda Alto Tumaría, in order to create guidelines that lead them to overcome their limitations and establish a roadmap to position the product in the market. For this reason, the objective of this research was to carry out an evaluation of the coffee production system in the village of Alto Tamuría in the municipality of Nunchía, since there are no data on production in this region, located in the foothills of the eastern Andean mountain range. Colombia. To resolve this information gap, an individual survey was carried out by family nucleus, complemented with visits to the farms, which allowed knowing the real state of the crops and the problems that affect them. In the second instance, with the participation of the producers, a SWOT analysis was carried out to establish lines of work and thus overcome the social, economic, technological and environmental limitations that affect the inhabitants of this territory. In this way, guidelines were defined that will allow them to provide solutions and thus generate a positive impact where the coffee farmer is the main beneficiary together with his family.
