National Councils of Agricultural, Fishing, Forestry and Aquaculture Production Chains
The National Councils of Agricultural, Fishing, Forestry and Aquaculture Production Chains come from a strategy of the Colombian Government to consolidate the process of internationalization of the country?s economic opening in the early 1990s, due to the fact that it showed weaknesses in the country's productive structure. The strategy is based on sectorial policies and was promoted by the Ministry of Agriculture initially with the introduction of public-private competitiveness agreements, which was later formalized with the creation of a legal framework that led to the creation of Productive Chain Organizations, each of which has a National Council of Production Chains and one or more Regional Chain Committees. The National Councils of Agricultural, Fisheries and Forestry Production Chains have in principle the status of advisory bodies of the National Government in matters of policy for the sustainability and competitiveness of the corresponding sub-sector, and are made up of representatives of producers, marketers, distributors, the respective agricultural, fishery or forestry industry and the Government. The Productive Chains can be created with a process of application and approval by the Ministry of Agriculture. By 2014 there were 37 nationally formed national channels, with their respective National Councils.
