- Abstract
The agricultural sector was one of the sectors that was most compromised during the confinements in the COVID-19 pandemic, guaranteeing the value chain and the necessary inputs. But even so, the problems of the sector are still evident: poverty, inequity, lack of rural and non-rural employment, low profit rates, lack of distribution chains and market development, among others. An alternative that is presented to achieve successful productive chains is that of inclusive businesses, for its better application and understanding, the application of a biological metaphor of coevolution and mutualism is presented in this document, noting that inclusive businesses should not occur. only on occasions of vulnerable producers, but to recognize in them their skills, knowledge, and capacities that they can share and put in favour of the integration model to achieve joint developments with the other organizations in the chain. The proposal focuses on strengthening inclusive models from the recognition of diversity and difference, and the development of management alternatives for the entire chain in general.
