| Sumario: | The objective of the present work was to characterize the farms producing avocado cultivation in the Moquegua Region. We worked with a population of 428 producers from which an unrestricted random sample was taken (n = 92) to carry out a survey that included questions related to the farms’ technical and socio-economic aspects. The results indicate a weak organization, predominance of smallholdings, with low yields and little investment; there is a tendency to change the technical irrigation system, with support from
the local government. It was found that most of them have polycultures, highlighting the cultivation of alfalfa, aimed at raising
cattle, which allows for a little more income for the family. As for cultivars, Hass and Fuerte are mainly cultivated; Marketing mechanisms are varied; there is no marketing system; likewise, there is a lack of organizational mechanisms to negotiate with buyers, as most export through intermediaries or gatherers and on the farm. Cluster analysis groups farms into five groups; one groups consisted of 14 farms; these cultivated a cultivar, invested more, and obtained the highest yields. |
