Abstract
The cocoa sector turns out to be one of the most traditional sectors in the department of Santander, this is due to the large number of families that benefit economically from its cultivation, added to this after the signing of the peace agreement, cocoa has become in one of Colombia's productive agroindustrial bets, using it as a strategy to substitute illicit crops in the post-conflict context. The objective of this article was to analyze the opportunities of the mini-production chains in the cocoa sector in the department of Santander in order to determine possible options for the insertion of cocoa products into global value chains in the post-conflict period. To do this, a descriptive methodology was implemented to determine the characteristics of the production chain in the Santander cocoa sector through the application of the mini-production chain model provided by the United Nations Agency for Industrial Development (UNIDO). By virtue of the analysis carried out, it was possible to determine that the agro-industrial chain of cocoa in Colombia is a strategic sector in the region that has production units integrating cultivation, harvesting, post-harvest, storage, marketing and production companies of final goods, it has also presented exports in recent years. It is concluded that the public policies of Colombia have prioritized cocoa as a raw material of interest for rural development, deploying governmental actions and international cooperation aimed at consolidating an adequate value chain and thus solving the technological and organizational needs of a key agricultural sector in the post-conflict process of replacing illicit crops.
