Resumen
El estudio sobre la producción de aceite de palma africana en Ecuador (2017-2022) evidencia la significancia de este sector en la economía nacional. Desde su introducción en los años 50, su expansión ha sido impulsada por la demanda global, particularmente de Asia. La geolocalización de Ecuador, sus tierras fértiles y la adaptabilidad del cultivo a las condiciones locales, catalizaron su crecimiento. El análisis detallado abarcó desde el contexto histórico de su expansión, la estructura de su cadena de producción hasta su impacto en el PIB, exportaciones y empleo. Identificando diversos actores, desde agricultores a exportadores, se observó un sistema integrado que maximiza la eficiencia. Las políticas gubernamentales han sido fundamentales para promover el cultivo y facilitar el acceso a mercados internacionales. A pesar de su relevancia, el aceite de palma ha enfrentado desafíos, como deforestación y conflictos de tierras. La investigación demostró que, aunque esta industria ha diversificado la economía y creado empleo, especialmente en zonas rurales, su relevancia en términos de contribución al PIB y generación de empleo ha decrecido entre 2017 y 2022. Este hallazgo suscita preguntas sobre los desafíos actuales y futuros que enfrenta el sector. Comprender estas tendencias es esencial para formular políticas que, si se considera necesario, respalden a esta crucial industria
The study on African palm oil production in Ecuador (2017-2022) highlights the significance of this sector to the national economy. Since its introduction in the 1950s, its growth has been driven by global demand, particularly from Asia. Ecuador's geographical location, its fertile lands, and the crop's adaptability to local conditions catalyzed its expansion. The detailed analysis covered everything from the historical context of its growth, the structure of its production chain, to its impact on the GDP, exports, and employment. Identifying various players, from farmers to exporters, an integrated system was observed that maximizes efficiency. Government policies have been fundamental in promoting cultivation and facilitating access to international markets. Despite its importance, palm oil has faced challenges such as deforestation and land conflicts. The research showed that although this industry has diversified the economy and created jobs, especially in rural areas, its relevance in terms of contribution to GDP and job creation has decreased between 2017 and 2022. This finding raises questions about the current and future challenges facing the sector. Understanding these trends is essential for formulating policies that, if deemed necessary, support this crucial industry.
