| Descripció: | A study was performed to characterize the associates of three agricultural organizations. The organizations studied corresponded to Agricultural Producers Association of the cantons of Acosta and Aserrí ( ASOPROAAA ) , The Association of Organic Families of Caraigres Hills ( AFAORCA ) and the Association of Beekeepers of the Caraigres Region ( APICARAIGRES ) all these located in the cantons of Acosta , Aserrí , Desamparados, León Cortés and Corralillo , to the south of San José. The study aimed to characterize both agricultural production chains and farmers taking part of them. It was also intended to identify the different links within partners in their organization. It emphasized on the productive relations and the underlying structures in the relations of production.Data collection was conducted through a survey that was applied to all members of AFAORCA and APICARAIGRES. However, in the case of ASOPROAAA, due to the size of the organization, a sample was selected. The results of agro supply chains were described in the first article and the network analysis are included in the third issue of this series. Accordingly, in this article the data and analyzes that characterized farmers who make up these groups are included. When considering the data on the ages of the producers of the studied organizations, it appears that the farms are in the hands of people in the second and third age. In addition, a generational change is in sight, since the family does not provide services to farming activities. |
