Resumen
Los lácteos caprinos poseen muchos beneficios para las personas dadas sus cualidades nutritivas, siendo una gran opción para niños, jóvenes y adultos que padecen de malestares estomacales, alergias e incluso intolerancia a la lactosa. En Costa Rica aún se evidencia cierto grado de rechazo hacia la leche caprina a pesar de las ventajas mencionadas y el desconocimiento de los cambios en procesos innovadores de ordeño que se han implementado en los últimos tiempos. Este es uno de los primeros problemas a los que se enfrenta la empresa FANUCA, microempresa productora caprina de la zona de Carrillo, Guanacaste, con 16 años en el mercado. Existen mercados internacionales con una mayor aceptación hacia productos como la leche de cabra y sus derivados, por lo que la microempresa FANUCA considera incursionar en un mercado como Panamá, con un producto diferenciador. Dado ese propósito, surge esta investigación, que abarca no sólo el estudio del potencial de internacionalización de FANUCA S.A, así como el estudio de las mejores prácticas de comercialización internacional de productos caprinos que se realizan actualmente por otras empresas localizadas fuera de las fronteras costarricenses. Como parte del enfoque metodológico de la investigación se realiza una exhaustiva investigación de fuentes secundarias encontradas en sitios digitales, incluyendo páginas web oficiales y proyectos realizados por otros grupos de investigadores. Adicionalmente, se necesita información veraz por parte de fuentes primarias, por lo que se recurrió a entrevistas con expertos que permiten tener una perspectiva más clara del sector y lo que afecta al mismo. En el primer capítulo se abarca una revisión de los principales aspectos teóricos que respectan al sector productivo de lácteos caprinos, seguido por un abordaje conceptual sobre términos relacionados a estrategias empresariales, de comercialización y temas de mercadeo para contar con una mejor comprensión de la estrategia que se propone en este proyecto. Adicional se dedica un capítulo a FANUCA S.A y su forma actual de operar en el mercado. Además, se indagan estrategias de mercadeo implementadas por empresas dedicadas al sector de lácteos para ganar ventaja competitiva en el mercado y posicionarse en la mente del consumidor. Al finalizar la investigación se brinda a FANUCA una estrategia de comercialización internacional que brinde estabilidad y crecimiento a la empresa. En esta estrategia se indican los pasos para exportar sus productos al mercado panameño y puede usarse como herramienta base para que otras empresas caprinas puedan expandirse a mercados extranjeros
Goat milk has many benefits for people due to its nutritional qualities, making it a great option for children, young people, and adults who suffer from stomach ailments, allergies, and even lactose intolerance. In Costa Rica, there is still a certain degree of rejection toward goat milk despite the aforementioned advantages and a lack of awareness of the innovative milking processes that have been implemented recently. This is one of the primary problems facing FANUCA, a microenterprise goat producer in the Carrillo region of Guanacaste, with 16 years in the market. There are international markets with greater acceptance of products such as goat milk and its derivatives, which is why FANUCA is considering entering a market like Panama with a distinctive product. Given this objective, this research study encompasses not only the study of FANUCA S.A.'s internationalization potential, but also the best international marketing practices for goat products currently being pursued by other companies located outside Costa Rica. As part of the research's methodological approach, an exhaustive investigation of secondary sources found on digital sites is conducted, including official websites and projects conducted by other research groups. Additionally, reliable information from primary sources is required, so interviews with experts were used to gain a clearer perspective of the sector and its impact. The first chapter reviews the main theoretical aspects of the goat dairy production sector, followed by a conceptual approach to terms related to business strategies, marketing, and marketing issues to better understand the strategy proposed in this project. An additional chapter is dedicated to FANUCA S.A. and its current model of operations in the market. Additionally, marketing strategies implemented by companies dedicated to the dairy sector are investigated to gain a competitive advantage in the market and position themselves in the minds of consumers. Upon completion of the research, FANUCA is provided with an international marketing strategy that will provide stability and growth to the company. This strategy outlines the steps for exporting its products to the Panamanian market and can be used as a basic tool for other goat companies to expand into foreign markets.
