Abstract

The value network is identified as a development strategy where processes and actors are integrated through the flow of materials, information and financial resources, through value networks that allow the cyclical use of resources in the principles of circular economy, which is identified in that a product sustains a value for a longer time in its positioning for the longest time and thus generate the least generation of waste, that the item has an adequate and sustainable development. Therefore, in this research, a methodology that was constituted in five phases was applied, whose purpose was to analyze the circular supply chain of passion fruit (Passiflora edulis L.) in the province of Manabí, which was characterized by determining the passion fruit value network in Manabí and to be able to give a circular economy approach. For this, the entire network was mapped, in which it was diagnosed and the circular economy approach was verified in it through checklists, which were related to the study variables. For this reason, as results, it was possible to show actors which were segmented into six stages. Where it could be established that the network registered a low level of development preceded likewise with a low circularity.
