Abstract

Ecuador's agricultural production has been immersed in a crisis that is evident in the instability growth, persistent rural poverty, the devaluation of employment in the field and the lack of competitiveness of Ecuadorian products. Socio-economic conditions of small farmers and peasants have negatively aggravated, preferred migration, because the field do not offers them opportunities to improve their living conditions. Faced with this reality, the government through the Ministerio de Agricultura, Acuacultura, Ganadería y Pesca, MAGAP began the plan Agro Reactivation, which will promote the association of small farmers and boost competitiveness with value chain approach. The objective is to facilitate the access of small and medium producers to support services to production, to improve the quality of life of the rural population. Work closely with farmers and small farmers organizations, NGOs and local governments, creating synergies, allowing to process agricultural and rural development. Consequently programs have been established to promote and develop agriculture to take into account a set of priority crops, providing complementary services and the strengthening of institutions.
