Implementacion de certificaciones de buenas practicas agricolas, en la provincia Garcia Rovira en el departamento de Santander, Colombia.

Abstract

In the Province of Garcia in the Municipality of Cerrito, Santander, there are villages dedicated to the production of peach (Prunus persica), such as El Volcán and La Ovejera, which are an important source of commercialization for the families of farmers in the area. Despite this, they lack training for technical assistance in the implementation of Good Agricultural Practices, which has made their crops less safe and of lower quality. This has resulted in a decrease in income, losses and less competitiveness in the local departmental market. This business practice carried out with the company ASOHOHOFRUCOL, with the support of the implementation of Good Agricultural Practices in the production line of peach gran jarillo, training, technical assistance, field schools, and a checklist was applied for those producers to be certified.
