Grupo AN cooperative owners´succession: fruit and vegetable sector

Abstract

La manifestación de carencia de relevo generacional, que afecta tanto al sector agrario como al cooperativo, ha generado la necesidad de realizar un estudio que nos permita anticiparnos a sus consecuencias. Mediante la elaboración de encuestas a los socios hortofrutícolas de Grupo AN y a través de análisis estadísticos, se ha buscado responder a la hipótesis que justifica la falta de sucesión mencionada anteriormente, la cual se apoya en subhipótesis que explican las causas de dicho fenómeno. Como resultado de este análisis hemos obtenido seis perfiles de socios que se agrupan en torno a tres comportamientos en relación al relevo generacional: socios sin relevo generacional, socios con relevo generacional y socios con potencial relevo generacional.

The manifestation of the lack of generational renewal, affecting both the agricultural and cooperative sectors, has generated the need to carry out a study that allows us to anticipate to its consequences. Through the devising of surveys to Grupo AN fruit and vegetable cooperative owners and through statistical analyses, we have tried to answer the hypothesis that justifies the aforementioned lack of succession, which is based on sub-hypotheses that explain the causes of this phenomenon. As a result of this analysis we have obtained six owner profiles that are grouped around three behaviors in relation to the generational relay: owners without generational relay, owners with generational relay and owners with potential generational relay.
