Análisis del enfoque de la economía circular en la cadena agroalimentaria del plátano en la provincia de Manabí.

Abstract

The circular economy is a practice that is gaining more and more strength among companies, as it optimizes the use of resources from the process and throughout the chain that conforms it. It is for this reason that this research is oriented to analyze the banana agro-food chain in the province of Manabí with a circular economy approach. For the diagnosis of the circular economy, a mapping of the study chain was determined where each link in the production of bananas was analyzed and from this a checklist was created to determine the most vulnerable points within the chain. All this allows to know the type of system that is implemented and which are the best points to change from a linear production to a circular production. The implementation of a circular production allows the economic, social and ecological development of a company and favors all the actors involved.
