Abstract
La producción de aceitunas en la región Arequipa está a cargo de micro y pequeños
agricultores, quienes, en la cosecha 2011-2012, lograron producir 29,600 toneladas, mientras
que, en todo el Perú, se cosecharon 87,000. Estos productores no trabajan de forma
cohesionada, por lo cual la producción de cada uno es pequeña para llegar directamente a los
mercados y, por ende, venden a acopiadores de Lima; esto les limita el acceso al mercado y el
conocimiento de los gustos del consumidor. A esto se le suma el hecho de que es un sector
que principalmente opera en la informalidad, ya que sus trabajadores no poseen contratos
laborales formales y no reciben los beneficios de ley.
Dentro de este plan estratégico, se han establecido cuatro objetivos de largo plazo, los
cuales se alcanzarán en el año 2025 y, con ello, se logrará la visión que se mantiene de ser el
primer productor a nivel nacional ofreciendo productos de calidad. Estos objetivos son (a) la
producción ascenderá a 125,800 toneladas, (b) las exportaciones alcanzarán el 70% del total
producido, (c) el 100% de las aceitunas de mesa producidas en Arequipa serán procesadas, y
(d) el 100% de los trabajadores contratados para el cultivo y procesamiento de las aceitunas
gozará de todos los beneficios que ofrece la legislación laboral peruana.
A fin de alcanzar los objetivos de largo plazo, se han diseñado 10 estrategias, con las
cuales se desarrollará la ventaja competitiva. Estas iniciativas estratégicas son las siguientes:
(a) incrementar el área cultivada, (b) vender directamente a los mercados mayoristas de Lima,
(c) capacitar a los productores en técnicas de comercialización y de acceso al mercado, (d)
cubrirse del riesgo cambiario, (e) unir a los productores en una asociación, (f) exportar
directamente, (g) certificar a las empresas productoras, (h) renovar los equipos, (i) crear
alianzas para conducir investigaciones, y (j) obtener capacitación y tecnología de punta de
diferentes entes gubernamentales.
Olive production in the Arequipa region is harvest by micro and small farmers, who in 2011-2012 managed to produce 29,600 tons, while in all of Peru were harvested 87,000. These producers do not work cohesively, so each one production is small and therefore cannot reach directly national or foreign markets and thus sell to collectors from Lima. This fact limits their market access and knowledge of consumer tastes. Other limitation is that it is a sector that operates mainly in the informality, as workers have no formal employment contracts and do not receive the benefits of Law. Within this strategic plan four long-term goals has been established, which will be reached in 2025 and thereby achieve the vision the sector has of becoming the first national producer, offering quality products. These objectives are: (a) the production will amount to 125,800 tons, (b) exports will reach 70% of total production, (c) 100% of table olives produced in Arequipa will be processed, and (d) the 100% of the workers engaged in the growing and processing of olives enjoy all the benefits Peruvian labor legislation. To achieve long-term objectives 10 strategies were designed, which implementation will develop the competitive advantages. These strategic initiatives are: (a) increasing the cultivated area, (b) selling directly to wholesale markets of Lima, (c) training farmers on marketing techniques and market access, (d) hedging the currency risk, (e) unifying producers in an association, (f) exporting directly, (g) certifying producers, (h) bringing new modern equipment, (i) creating alliances to conduct research, and (j) obtaining training and technology from different government agencies.
