Resumen
El sector agroindustrial del área metropolitana de Cúcuta, Norte de Santander, enfrenta desafíos significativos que limitan su desarrollo y competitividad. Entre estos se encuentran la baja productividad, la limitada adopción
tecnológica y la escasa articulación entre los actores del ecosistema de innovación, como productores, investigadores, entidades gubernamentales y empresas. Además, existe una percepción generalizada de que la
innovación es un proceso complejo y costoso, lo que restringe su implementación, especialmente entre pequeños y medianos productores. Las estadísticas revelan condiciones preocupantes, como la limitada maquinaria agropecuaria, infraestructura deficiente y una baja inversión en innovación. En este contexto, la innovación se presenta como una herramienta esencial para impulsar la sostenibilidad y el crecimiento del sector, promoviendo ventajas competitivas y alineándose con los objetivos de desarrollo regional. Sin embargo, la falta de una cultura de innovación y la carencia de herramientas metodológicas adecuadas dificultan la implementación de procesos innovadores efectivos. Este estudio propone diagnosticar las capacidades de innovación en el sector agroindustrial mediante la identificación de su estado actual, la aplicación de un test de capacidades innovadoras y la documentación de los factores limitantes. Así, busca desarrollar estrategias que fomenten la colaboración, el intercambio de conocimientos y la adopción de prácticas innovadoras. De esta manera, se busca fortalecer el sector agroindustrial, incrementar su competitividad y contribuir al desarrollo económico, social y sostenible de la región, superando las brechas actuales y maximizando su potencial para generar un impacto positivo a nivel local y regional.
The agro-industrial sector in the metropolitan area of Cúcuta, Norte de Santander, faces significant challenges that limit its development and competitiveness. These include low productivity, limited technological adoption, and poor coordination between actors in the innovation ecosystem, such as producers, researchers, government entities, and companies. In addition, there is a widespread perception that innovation is a complex and costly process, which restricts its implementation, especially among small and medium-sized producers. Statistics reveal worrying conditions, such as limited agricultural machinery, poor infrastructure, and low investment in innovation. In this context, innovation is presented as an essential tool to boost the sustainability and growth of the sector, promoting competitive advantages and aligning with regional development objectives. However, the lack of a culture of innovation and the lack of adequate methodological tools hinder the implementation of effective innovative processes. This study proposes to diagnose the innovation capacities in the agro-industrial sector by identifying its current state, applying an innovative capacity test, and documenting the limiting factors. The aim is to develop strategies that foster collaboration, knowledge exchange and the adoption of innovative practices. In this way, the aim is to strengthen the agro-industrial sector, increase its competitiveness and contribute to the economic, social and sustainable development of the region, overcoming current gaps and maximising its potential to generate a positive impact at local and regional levels.
