Medidas de reducción ante la importación de maíz en Colombia, análisis del sector y búsqueda de competencias para ingresar al mercado internacional

Abstract

Colombia is a large consumer of yellow corn for the poultry and livestock industry as well as for human consumption and, although it can be deduced that it has the agricultural supply for the requirement of this sector, it does not generate sufficient supply for even half of the demand at the national level. A large volume of imports of this cereal has been used, which greatly affects Colombian agriculture and therefore consumer prices. This project seeks to propose measures to increase competitiveness and thus promote the agricultural development of a specific product, based on the comparative advantage of Michael Porter and the agricultural competitiveness approach of Jesús Antonio Bejarano. Also, by analyzing other countries, known as net corn exporters at the global level, some strategies were identified that can be applied in Colombia to improve the country's potential and thus increase production and export levels while achieving benefits in different areas of the economy.
