| Sumario: | This article analyzes the building of innovation capabilities in small scale family-owned busi-nesses involved in the processing and commercialization of panela -a traditional type of raw, non–refined sugar- in the Central-American context of El Salvador. Although this analysis is focused on one particular associative initiative, ACOPANELA, an entrepreneurship that inte-grates multiple small trapiches –family-owned businesses-, this article postulates the building of innovation capabilities, in the context of the panela subsector, as one of the small scale agro-industries with a longstanding tradition in El Salvador. The results of this analysis are used to draw lessons as to how innovation capabilities emerge and are developed in this type of asso-ciative economic initiatives. Proposals are also presented for strengthening the territorial reach of public and private programs to promote innovation in small scale rural agro-industries and other types of rural SMEs, under the logic of constructing territorial systems of innovation. |
