Valenciano Salazar, Jorge Andrey Salas Leitón, Adriana María Díaz Porras, Rafael credit system value chains governance agricultural producers cucumber Sistema de crédito cadenas de valor gobernanza productores agrícolas pepino Using a case study of the Association of Crop Producers under Controlled Environment (Asociación de Productores de Cultivos Bajo Medio Controlado - APROMECO), based in Zarcero, Costa Rica, this article shows that credit is an essential element for small and medium-sized agricultural producers to gain access to cutting-edge technology that would enable them to connect with foreign agents and thus be part of an international chain. However, credit policies are not sufficient to ensure the success of these producers, as connecting to a global chain is just the beginning of a long process for local producers, who must find, together with public sector institutions, the necessary strategies to stay within the chain. Mediante un estudio de caso en la Asociación de Productores de Cultivos Bajo Medio Controlado (APROMECO), ubicada en Zarcero-Costa Rica, el artículo logra determinar que el crédito es un elemento esencial para que los medianos y pequeños productores agrícolas logren acceder a tecnología de punta que les permita conectarse con los agentes externos, por ende formar parte de una cadena internacional; sin embargo, las políticas de crédito no son suficientes para garantizar el éxito de estos productores, ya que conectarse a una cadena global es solo el principio de un largo camino para los productores locales, los cuales deben encontrar junto con la institucionalidad pública del sector, estrategias necesarias para mantenerse dentro de la cadena.
