| dc.description.abstract | Guatemala’s agrifood sector plays a significant role in Guatemala’s economy, but faces a series of challenges that impact its performance. The agriculture sector accounts for 10.2% of Guatemala’s economic activities, with a significant multiplier when accounting for the full backward and forward linkages, employing 32% of Guatemala’s active population. However, the sector presents a highly dualistic structure where a minority of larger players integrated in global value chains coexist with a high number of producers facing severe, multi-faceted challenges. Small agri-business and farmers lack access to finance, markets and connection to national and global value chains. Smallholders have also seen steadily declining or stagnating productivity over the last decade, partly because of climate change and low access to agricultural good practices. Furthermore, Guatemala also contends with widespread food insecurity, which is particularly prevalent among Indigenous communities and families in the lowest income quintile. | en |
| dc.description.abstract | Si bien el sector agroalimentario de Guatemala desempeña un papel significativo en la economía guatemalteca, se enfrenta a una serie de desafíos que tienen un impacto en su desempeño. El sector agrícola representa el 10,2% de las actividades económicas de Guatemala y tiene un efecto multiplicador importante si es que se tienen en cuenta todas las concatenaciones hacia atrás y hacia adelante. Además, da empleo al 32% de la población activa de Guatemala. Sin embargo, el sector tiene una estructura altamente dualista en que coexisten una minoría de operadores grandes integrados en cadenas de valor mundiales con un número elevado de productores que enfrentan desafíos graves y multifacéticos. Los pequeños agronegocios y los pequeños agricultores no tienen acceso a financiamiento, mercados y conexiones con cadenas de valor nacionales y mundiales. Además, en la última década se ha ido disminuyendo o estancando la productividad de los pequeños productores, en parte debido al cambio climático y a las limitaciones de acceso a buenas prácticas agrícolas. Guatemala también está lidiando con una inseguridad alimentaria generalizada que sobre todo afecta a las familias y comunidades indígenas del quintil de ingresos más bajo. | es |
