Description
Establishes the guidelines for Colombia's National Agricultural Marketing Policy, structured around three components: agricultural production planning, logistics, and commercialization. Its formulation is entrusted to an intersectoral technical board led by the Ministry of Agriculture, bringing together state agencies, campesino representatives, and agricultural sector organizations. The policy seeks to reduce market intermediation, strengthen logistics infrastructure, and improve marketing channels for smallholder and family farming systems, under gender, ethnic, and territorial differential approaches. It mandates the adoption of digital technologies and agroecological practices, and includes a specific component for the San Andrés, Providencia, and Santa Catalina Archipelago.
