description | This paper analyzes government policies aimed at promoting the cultivation of oil palm and converting areas currently used for other crops to this purpose. Chiapas is the main state by planted area and value of production generated by oilseed; the highest percentage of municipalities and production units is located in the Soconusco region. It is argued that the design of public policies is more oriented towards the needs of companies that use the raw material than to the social and economic benefits of producers, without taking into account the probable environmental effects of palm expansion. It is concluded that government policies suffer from a lack of continuity, are improvised and respond to short-term rather than long-term goals. |

Chiapas is the main state by planted area and value of production generated by oilseed; the highest percentage of municipalities and production units is located in the Soconusco region. It is argued that the design of public policies is more oriented towards the needs of companies that use the raw material than to the social and economic benefits of producers, without taking into account the probable environmental effects of palm expansion. It is concluded that government policies suffer from a lack of continuity, are improvised and respond to short-term rather than long-term goals. Las políticas gubernamentales orientadas al fomento de la siembra de palma de aceite y la reconversión de superficies ocupadas por otros cultivos, son analizadas en el presente texto. Chiapas es la principal entidad por superficie plantada y valor de la producción generada por la oleaginosa; el mayor porcentaje de municipios y unidades de producción se ubican en la región del Soconusco. Se plantea que el diseño de las políticas públicas obedece más a las necesidades de las empresas que usan la materia prima que, a los beneficios sociales y económicos de los productores, sin tomar en cuenta los probables efectos ambientales de la expansión de la palma. Se concluye que las políticas gubernamentales adolecen de continuidad, son improvisadas y responden a objetivos coyunturales y no de largo plazo Universidad Autónoma Chapingo 2018-06-29 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://revistas.chapingo.mx/geografia/article/view/r.rga.2018.60.003 10.5154/r.rga.2018.60.003 Revista de Geografía Agrícola; No. 60 (2018): January-June; 81-103 Revista de Geografía Agrícola; Núm. 60 (2018): enero-junio; 81-103 2448-7368 0186-4394 spa https://revistas.chapingo.mx/geografia/article/view/r.rga.2018.60.003/r.rga.2018.60.003 Derechos de autor 2018 Revista de Geografía Agrícola https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 |
