Brown sugar mills are characterized by their high heterogeneity regarding producers´ sociodemographic features, mills productive structure, resource endowment, technology use and economic performance. In order to test and validate a methodology to determine homogeneous groups of brown sugar mills, a random sample survey of 43 mills was researched at Ocamonte, Santander. To accomplish research´s main objectives a sequential multivariate statistic approach was applied (namely, multiple correspondence analysis with optimum scaling, cluster analysis and discriminant analysis). There were found four well differentiated types of mills representing three brown sugar production systems namely: a marginal (Type I) system encompassing 65% of mills in the sample. Another traditional improved (Type III) system involving 7% of mills. Finally, an advanced (Type II and IV) system embracing 28% of mills. Improving the productive efficiency of these mill types requires different sorts of policy interventions.
Los trapiches paneleros se caracterizan por una alta heterogeneidad en las características socioculturales de los productores, estructura productiva, dotación de recursos productivos y uso de tecnología. En este estudio se aplicaron y validaron técnicas de análisis estadístico multivariado (análisis de correspondencia múltiple con escalamiento óptimo, análisis de conglomerados y análisis discriminante) como metodología para conformar grupos homogéneos de trapiches a partir de una muestra de 43 trapiches del municipio de Ocamonte, Santander. Se encontraron cuatro tipos de trapiches los cuales son representativos de tres sistemas de producción de panela bien diferenciados. El sistema marginal que, comprende el 65% de los trapiches (trapiches Tipo I). Un sistema tradicional mejorado (7%) (trapiches Tipo III). Finalmente, un sistema avanzado (28%) (trapiches tipos II y IV). Para mejorar su eficiencia productiva estos tipos de trapiches deben intervenirse mediante líneas de política diferenciadas.
