In El Salvador the small size of lots conspires against productivity and profitability in the agricultural sector.
Only sugarcane crops and coffee meet the demand within the country, having to import corn, beans, rice, fruits and vegetables in order to supply the needs of the population.
To overcome the problem, Oscar Albanés and Agustin Martinez, directors of the Agricultural Suppliers Association (APA) and the Chamber of Agriculture and Agro Industries (Camagro) indicate that, among other measures, "production chains should be developed and strengthened as well as coordinate collection systems allowing you to store crops so that farmers can gradually take their produce into market and negotiate good prices with wholesalers and the industry, maintaining and increasing production for the benefit of consumers, the country and their own.

To lower the costs of their supplies, businesses in the Free Port zones of Costa Rica are expanding the productive chain to include local suppliers.
Nor the uncertainty of the status of the Free Port Zone Law, which is stuck in Congress, nor the impact of the global crisis that has caused exports at Costa Rican free port zones to fall 16% in the first quarter of 2009 have reduced the determination of these businesses. Furthermore, they have found a very good way to decrease costs by including local businesses in the chain of production.

The list of reasons for this serious absence begins with the culture of salaried employees, which is instilled at home and in educational institutions.
In Latin America, the general idea is that the success of a young person is his/her school grades, then how soon he/she graduates from the university and, ultimately, how fast he/she gets a good job. It is not customary for personal goals transmitted through family values to be related to being an entrepreneur.

Overcome weaknesses, build strengths; partnerships between companies to achieve vertical or horizontal integration is a good bet for growth.
Some of the forms of horizontal integration that business partnerships assume are to reduce costs by purchasing a pool of supplies, market exports as a whole and consolidate to lower freight charges. Vertical integration is usually more complex, requiring each of the partners to specialize in specific business sectors to achieve productive linkage. The common denominator is the desire to overcome weaknesses and generate strengths through a partnership perhaps with the company that up until yesterday was your competition.

Business chains represent a new development model that is being adopted in rural Guatemala. Promoters say it can do more to build prosperity than any political or government mechanism.
The first stage in the development of a chain is the identification of a buyer interested in acquiring a product of a rural community. The buyers are linked to producers' associations capable of meeting targets and product specifications.
