Resumen
En el presente trabajo final de graduación, se estudian las cadenas agroindustriales en
Centroamérica, tomando como referencia, específicamente, la agrocadena del arroz. En
primer lugar, se realiza un análisis descriptivo de la cadena, basándose en aspectos, tales
como su estructura, componentes, actores, localización de la cadena, los principales entes
reguladores del sector arrocero en los distintos países de la región, así como su reglamento.
Seguidamente, se analizan las estrategias de Marketing aplicadas en el bloque
centroamericano por las cadenas agroindustriales del arroz, enfocándose en la empresa
costarricense, Corporación Arrocera Costa Rica (CACSA) y su marca estrella “Imperio”,
para lo cual se aplica un análisis benchmarking a dicha empresa, y a otras dos de ellas, que
forman parte del sector arrocero.
Para el análisis benchmarking, se eligieron los criterios, con base en el enfoque teórico
propuesto por Kotler y Armstrong (2012), el cual hace referencia a las tendencias en el
marketing actual, a saber: marketing ambiental, marketing digital y responsabilidad social.
A partir de dichos criterios, se elabora y aplica una misma evaluación a la empresa CACSA
y a las otras dos empresas seleccionadas: Coopeliberia y el Pelón de la Bajura.
Consecutivamente, se muestran los resultados obtenidos, después de la evaluación
comparativa aplicada a cada una de las compañías. Por último, se brindan las conclusiones
obtenidas después del desarrollo de esta investigación. Se hace hincapié, en las acciones
que realiza CACSA, para destacarse entre sus competidores, sobre todo, para alcanzar un
mejor posicionamiento de la marca en el mercado nacional.
This final graduation thesis studies agroindustrial chains in Central America, specifically the rice agrochain. First, a descriptive analysis of the chain is made, based on aspects such as its structure, components, actors, location of the chain, the main regulatory bodies of the rice sector in the different countries of the region, as well as their regulations. Next, the marketing strategies applied in the Central American bloc by the rice agroindustrial chains are analyzed, focusing on the Costa Rican company, Corporación Arrocera Costa Rica (CACSA) and its star brand "Imperio", for which a benchmarking analysis is applied to that company, and to two others that are part of the rice sector. For the benchmarking analysis, criteria were chosen based on the theoretical approach proposed by Kotler and Armstrong (2012), which refers to current marketing trends, namely: environmental marketing, digital marketing and social responsibility. Based on these criteria, the same evaluation is prepared and applied to CACSA and the other two selected companies: Coopeliberia and El Pelón de la Bajura. Subsequently, the results obtained after the comparative evaluation applied to each of the companies are shown. Finally, the conclusions obtained after the development of this research are given. Emphasis is placed on the actions carried out by CACSA to stand out among its competitors, especially to achieve a better positioning of the brand in the national market.
