Keywords:
agribusiness, competitiveness, management, technological development, projects
Abstract
SMEs in the agro-industrial sector play a key factor in the development of Mexico, which impacts various economic and social sectors. This productive economic sector has to be competitive and develop projects that meet the needs of the market. In this way, technological innovations currently represent an opportunity for the growth of the business sector with an interest in agribusiness, which seeks new strategic projects. The objective was to identify competitive advantages for the development of technological innovation projects with sustainable practices in SMEs in the agro-industrial sector. The methodological approach was carried out from the identification of the problems surrounding the use and adoption of technological innovations in SMEs in the agro-industrial sector in Mexico. The proposals of technological innovation projects with ecological practices were: (a) production and commercialization of biofuels in Mexico (b) Unmanned aerial vehicles used for image analysis in agriculture (c) Solar dryers to reduce consumption of energy in the generation of agro-industrial products. According to the economic, technological, environmental, and social impacts, there are favorable technical conditions for the implementation of productive projects that take advantage of competitive advantages and generate business opportunities, maximizing the adoption of technological innovations with sustainable practices in the country.Downloads
