The direct field support program (PROCAMPO) from and its impact on agricultural productive and commercial knowledge management in Estado de México
Abstract
This research was carried out in Estado de México, to analyze
the fulfillment of PROCAMPO’s collateral objectives in a
representative sample of producers obtained from the census
of the program’s beneficiaries. The methodology used was
knowledge management in producers that own less than one
hectare (smallholding traditional production system) and those
with more than 20 hectares (commercial production system).
We found evidence that the smallholding system is immersed
in a transitional stage toward the commercial system, although
with a progressive reduction in social, economic and ecologic
profitability. Agriculture’s contribution to the family economy
represented only 14.8% of the total. Both groups of farmers
have production costs of more than $4 000.00 per hectare;
however, smallholders produce each kilo of corn at almost half
its commercial value. We conclude that PROCAMPO does
not fulfill its collateral objectives, and that it is necessary to
include supports for public goods, with the goal of developing
knowledge management.
