Regional Committees of Agricultural, Fishing, Forestry and Aquaculture Production Chains
The Regional Committees 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 Regional Committees of the Agricultural, Fisheries and Forestry Production Chains are located in the most important producing regions of the corresponding sub-sector in order to analyze the situation of the agrifood chain of the respective region, as well as the promotion, planning and application of solutions in partnership with the national level. They are made up of representatives of the region's producers, traders, distributors, the agricultural, fishery or forestry industry and Regional and Local Government. The Productive Chains can be created via a process of application and approval by the Ministry of Agriculture. By 2014 there were 37 nationally-formed channels, with their respective Regional Committees.
