Analysis of the adoption of agricultural innovations in quinoa producers from Cabana, Puno (Peru)

Abstract

The main objective of the research was to characterize the innovation network and estimate an innovation adoption rate to evaluate its relationship with income generation in quinoa producers in Cabana. The characterization of the innovation network has been carried out using the social network analysis methodology (SNA), the innovation adoption index (IAI) has been obtained through an ordinal measurement scale and the return of the level of adoption of innovations on Producers' income has been estimated using the two-stage least squares methodology (TSLS) through the data obtained in a survey of 268 producers. The weak articulation of social capital has been evidenced in Cabana quinoa producers; however, the network of customers and input suppliers is well defined. Most of the producers stand out for their innovations in the productive component, the main weakness is related to the scarce innovation in the administration component. For each level of innovation adopted, a return of 49.09% on the income of the producer has been estimated, showing that the adoption of innovations has a greater impact on the generation of economic income compared to the years of schooling that only reaches 7.8%.

Análisis de innovaciones y prácticas en el cultivo de arracacha en Cajamarca, Colombia

“…Las prácticas de organización, tales como el registro de labores, planeación de actividades y registro de ingresos y gastos, igualmente se han relacionado en productores con altos niveles de innovación gracias a su fácil acceso al conocimiento e información (Vásquez et al, 2022). Asimismo, la presencia de asistencia técnica ha sido un factor de importancia en este grupo y se ha correlacionado con el nivel educativo, destacándose como influyente en el nivel de adopción de innovaciones (Tudela-Mamani et al, 2021;Zhang & Hong, 2021).…”

Exploring adoption factors of innovations in arracacha crop: A case study in Cajamarca, Colombia

“…This category includes practices such as activity scheduling, work registration, income/expense registration, and technical assistance during cropping, which are practices related to good agricultural practices (GAP). Different studies show the importance of their use for the increase of innovations in rural farms (Sennuga et al, 2020;Tudela et al, 2021). In relation to the importance of this category, some studies evidence that farmers do not use administrative tools or accounting records that can support decision-making on the farm (Tudela et al, 2021).…”

In relation to the importance of this category, some studies evidence that farmers do not use administrative tools or accounting records that can support decision-making on the farm (Tudela et al, 2021). The second category includes innovations in plant health, monitoring practices, elimination of atypical plants, and selection and disinfection of suckers, since the low adoption of practices is defined by producer decision-making for these technical factors (Vargas-De la Mora et al, 2021).…”

Factores de adopción de nanotecnología en cultivo de quinua

“…33 Nº 6 -2022 descartando la superficie sembrada. Tudela, et al (2021) en productores de quinua: orgánica, convencional o mixta, encontraron que la generación de ingresos es factor de adopción, al contrario de los años de escolaridad cuya influencia es menor. Martínez-Castro et al (2020) en productores de piña identificaron la experiencia, disponibilidad de recursos económicos y tamaño de la finca, por el contrario: edad, escolaridad y frecuencia de visita no fueron variables significativas.…”
