Structure, function and hierarchy of actors in the aloe chain, in the state of Falcón, Venezuela
Abstract
Actors who participate in the aloe production chain have centered
on development and producer training for the agronomic
management of the crop, production of by-products, and the advancement of new organizational structures. However, little is known about their structure, function and hierarchy. In this sense, the concept of social capital arises, which as a recent notion is located in the conceptual plane of relations and social systems. It is alternately a resource and a way to access resources, and therefore, it is transformed into an important tool in the life
strategy of individuals, by allowing them access to other resources, fostering their participation in organizations, and promoting courses of action directed at improving their level of social inclusion. Within this context, an actors' map was built for the aloe production chain in the state of Falcón, Venezuela, with the purpose of identifying all the entities interested in planning, design and performance evaluation in this chain. The methodological
strategy was sustained on the analysis of networks, with the aim
of identifying, describing and analyzing relations established
by agents in the chain. Results indicate that organizations with
actions and direct responsibility in the chain present a structural
and functional dimension with minimal conditions to promote and support its competitive and efficient development, although it may be necessary to decrease administrative procedures.
