Abstract

PINDA GUANOLEMA, Bayron Ramiro. Analysis of contribution to economic reactivation pot-covid-19 of the agricultural sector in the province of Chimborazo, Ecuador. Universidad y Sociedad [online]. 2022, vol.14, n.3, pp. 493-503.  Epub June 30, 2022. ISSN 2218-3620.

With the rapid global expansion of COVID-19, the consequences on the economy have been catastrophic: a sharp drop in production, company bankruptcies, job losses and reduced household income, placing households in a situation of risk and uncertainty, both in terms of health and food. The adoption of policies to mitigate these problems is urgent. In this scenario, within the context of Ecuador. The main objective of this article was to propose the promotion of agrifood activities, with special emphasis on social economy organizations and in the province of Chimborazo, as a basis for the reactivation of the post-COVID-19 economy in Ecuador. An observational, retrospective, cross-sectional and descriptive study was carried out. Theoretical methods used were Analytical-Synthetic; Inductive-Deductive; Historical-Logical; and systemic approach. Documentary analysis was used as methods of the empirical level of knowledge. It is evident that the Ecuadorian economy has been slowly reactivated after the pandemic, and has done so at different rates if we compare what happened in the public sector with the private sector. It also shows that the agricultural sector played an important role in the case of the province of Chimborazo. The performance of the cooperatives and particularly the CACs during the COVID-19 pandemic, while remaining active, turned them into dynamizing agents of the Ecuadorian economy, which was depressed during the past months, as evidenced in the agricultural sector in the province of Chimborazo.

Keywords : Agricultural sector; post-COVID-19; sanitary emergency; social economy; economic reactivation.
