For Cuba it is clear that it continues to be a challenge to raise agricultural production with sustainability, therefore, it is important to study the population that carries out the projected transformations, especially the families involved in the municipalities where that economic activity is the center of your development program. The present study, as part of a broader investigation, aimed to analyze the family-farm relationship of agricultural producers associated with Credit and Service Cooperatives (CCS) in the municipality of El Salvador (May 2018 - March 2019), Guantánamo province, through the study of the family-farm life cycle and its possibilities of family replacement. Research techniques such as content analysis, structured interview, supported by descriptive statistics and multivariate analysis in SPSS Statistics 21 were combined. The family-farm relationship in the municipality of El Salvador is active, direct and diverse. Although the family replacement rate is considered high for the UFPA-CCS, there are still producers without family replacement in this municipality, with the growth and dispersion/delivery stages prevailing in the family-farm life cycle.
