Las cooperativas en las cadenas de valor del café en Guatemala: su contribución al logro de objetivos sociales, laborales y ambientales

  • Claudia Sanchez Bajo Universidad de Pavia
Palabras clave: cooperativas, cadenas de valor, café, desarrollo sostenible

Resumen

La economía mundial está actualmente constituida por “cadenas de suministro integradas, donde más de la mitad de las importaciones totales de bienes manufacturados, y más del 70 por ciento de las importaciones totales de servicios, son bienes o servicios intermedios” (Lagarde, 2014). Este estudio propone un modelo de cadenas de valor en base a la perspectiva empresarial -tradicional versus sostenible- y los mecanismos de gobernanza -centralizados versus descentralizados- que las caracterizan. El objetivo es explorar el papel que adoptan las cooperativas en las cadenas de valor de café en Guatemala y de qué manera las cadenas de valor lideradas por cooperativas pueden diferir de aquellas dirigidas por inversores. El trabajo plantea que las cooperativas aportan a la construcción de cadenas de valor sostenibles y relacionales, con una triple línea de base que incluye objetivos sociales, laborales y ambientales.
