Resumen
Los cambios en el desarrollo de Costa Rica, sobre todo la firma de tratados
de libre comercio con otros países, ha hecho que el país, a pesar de los
obstáculos que se pueden encontrar, este cada vez más inmerso en un proceso
de apertura donde las exportaciones son fundamentales en la generación de
ingresos.
El café es uno de los principales productos de origen agrícola que se
comercializa en los mercados internacionales, segundo en valor durante muchos
años como fuente de divisas para los países en desarrollo, únicamente superado
por el petróleo, tiene una importancia crucial para la economía y la política de
muchos países en desarrollo. Para muchos de los países menos adelantados del
mundo, las exportaciones de café representan una parte sustancial de sus
ingresos en divisas, en algunos casos más del 80%.
En Costa Rica la comercialización de café se encuentra totalmente en manos
del sector privado, pero el Estado mantiene la supervisión y el control de la misma
a través del Instituto del Café de Costa Rica, donde están representados todos los sectores que intervienen en la actividad: Productores, Beneficiadores,
Exportadores y Torrefactares.
Costa Rica no cuenta con una legislación que regule adecuadamente la
estructura, funcionamientos y procedimientos del Consejo Regulador de las
Denominaciones de Origen. Esta situación genera desprotección jurídica a los
productores de café que requieran obtener el permiso de uso de la Denominación
de Origen.
El desarrollo de Costa Rica, sobre todo la firma de tratados de libre comercio
con otros países, ha hecho que el país, a pesar de los obstáculos que se pueden
encontrar proceso de apertura donde las exportaciones son fundamentales en la
generación de ingresos, suponen para las empresas la capacidad de aumentar
las ventas de sus bienes y servicios a otros mercados y con ello la posibilidad de
crecer, lo que además supone una serie de desafíos, sobre todo en los países
desarrollados tienen una serie de exigencias que deben ser cumplidas, o se está
ante el riesgo de que el producto sea dejado de lado.
Changes in the development of Costa Rica, especially the signing of free trade agreements with other countries, have meant that the country, despite the obstacles that can be found, is increasingly immersed in an opening process where Exports are essential in generating income. Coffee is one of the main products of agricultural origin that is traded in international markets, second in value for many years as a source of foreign currency for developing countries, only surpassed by oil, it has a crucial importance for the economy and politics of many developing countries. For many of the world's least developed countries, coffee exports represent a substantial part of their foreign exchange earnings, in some cases more than 80%. In Costa Rica, the marketing of coffee is entirely in the hands of the private sector, but the State maintains supervision and control of it through the Costa Rican Coffee Institute, where all the sectors involved in the activity are represented: Producers, Beneficiaries, Exporters and Roasters. Costa Rica does not have legislation that adequately regulates the structure, operations and procedures of the Regulatory Council for Designations of Origin. This situation creates a lack of legal protection for coffee producers who need to obtain permission to use the Denomination of Origin. The development of Costa Rica, especially the signing of free trade agreements with other countries, has meant that the country, despite the obstacles that can be found in the opening process where exports are essential in generating income, represent for companies the ability to increase sales of their goods and services to other markets and with it the possibility of growing, which also entails a series of challenges, especially in developed countries they have a series of requirements that must be met, or there is a risk that the product will be left aside.
