Abstract
HUSAIN-TALERO, Soraya. Analysis of the Production Costs and the Value Chain of Traditional Plants Grown by Peasants from Cundinamarca Province, Colombia. Cuad. Desarro. Rural [online]. 2018, vol.15, n.82, pp.97-114. ISSN 0122-1450. https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.cdr15-82.acpc.
This article analyses the production costs and the value chain for the traditional plants grown by the Cundinamarca peasants, specifically in the town Chipaque. This way, the work shows the production challenges faced by the peasants due to the tensions between the economism rationality and the alternative rationality. The latter considers the socioeconomic practices together with different forms of valuing the things. This work highlights the heterogenous nature of the peasants as well as the workings of the value chain in the traditional plants production, from the land to the selling place at the town markets in Bogotá, taking into account the dehydration process.
Keywords : peasants; Cundinamarca; production costs; traditional plants; value chains.
