El emprendimiento agrícola es uno de los factores que influyen en la creación de empleo, el ingreso económico y la competitividad del sector agrícola. Debido a la relevancia del tema es importante explorar la literatura de los últimos años e identificar las habilidades empresariales que los agricultores pueden desarrollar mediante capacitación para el éxito de sus iniciativas empresariales. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar un análisis bibliométrico para medir la producción científica y revelar temas de capacitación para el emprendimiento agrícola. La búsqueda de información se efectuó en la base de datos de Scopus y Web of Science en el periodo 2010-2020. La delimitación de los grupos temáticos se logró mediante VOSviewer, con base en la técnica bibliométrica de coocurrencia de términos. Se encontró que los artículos publicados incrementaron en los últimos años y se identificaron cuatro grupos temáticos sobre el desarrollo de habilidades empresariales agrícolas. Los hallazgos de esta investigación pueden emplearse para el diseño de cursos de capacitación o pueden orientar al diseño de políticas públicas que fortalezcan el sector agrícola.
Entrepreneurial skills are fundamental to the success of agricultural production units. Since small-scale farmers have developed production skills but not market-oriented skills, it is necessary to assess their entrepreneurial skills to provide a reference for sustainable community development plans. The objective was to evaluate the entrepreneurial ability of small-scale farmers in San Pablo Huixtepec, Oaxaca, using the Rasch–Andrich rating scale, a psychometric model that makes it possible to obtain measurements with a certain degree of precision. A survey was conducted among 45 small-scale farmers to collect the characteristics of their production unit, the characteristics of the small-scale farmers, and to determine their entrepreneurial skills (17 items). The data were processed using Winsteps software. Item 14 “I easily market what I produce” was eliminated because it did not contribute to the unidimensionality of the variable. The data fit the model and the Rasch–Andrich thresholds and, together with the category probability curves, demonstrated the good performance of the rating scale. The entrepreneurial ability ranged from −1.54 to 10.11 logits. Since most of producers (66.6%) were below average (1.09 logits), it is considered pertinent to support them to improve their ability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
