Abstract

This degree work is based on the execution of a viability evaluation process in the municipality of Miraflores Boyacá, for the implementation of the Globalgap international standards in 35 farms producing export-type fruits, belonging to the association Pitayas y Fruits de Colombia " PITAFCOL ”; This evaluation process will carry out the stages of diagnosis, formulation and study of productive systems. In the process of executing the internship, meetings were held with the legal representative, treasurer and professionals of the PITAFCOL association, with whom the objectives were identified, the producers linked to the evaluation process, the technical team of the association, the study area, rural areas, identification of actors, information corresponding to the organization of producers and identification of participation scenarios. Subsequently, in the environmental diagnosis phase, 35 technical visits were made to collect information on the productive activities of the association's properties, where the diagnostic format, directed by Colombian environmental legislation and GAP certification standards, in addition to Globalgap international standards, were completed and were analyzed, studied, classified, and their level of implementation identified. In the formulation phase, environmental management plans were designed, aimed at the prevention, mitigation, correction and compensation of problems, in accordance with the legislation and regulations in force on the matter, related to objectives, goals, activities and operational plans. Finally, the comparative study found significant differences between producing without certification processes and models that implement the GlobalGAP.
