Characterization of the bean production in Santiago from Cuba in the period 2009-2015

Abstract

The article aims to characterize bean production in the province of Santiago de Cuba in the period 2009-2015. The method followed included three steps: analysis of the strategic framework of production, determination of the legal and institutional framework and assessment of the behavior of the main indicators of production. The study showed that the Integral Grain Development Program in the province is an important platform to promote this production, although it has some shortcomings that limit the fulfillment of the goals. The actors have adequate levels of convergence between their objectives, which shows their involvement and mobilization in the production of beans. Although bean production has increased, (2 509.8 tons / 2009, up to 4 446.75 tons / 2015, 77.8% increase), even the production levels are below the national average and does not meet demand in the province.
