Factors Determining Food Safety in Cuban Municipalities: Limitations and Capacities for Chain Approach Management

The aim of this paper is to identify the most commonly recognized determining factors of food safety, according to the dimensions established at the municipal scale; and secondly, to assess the capacities and limitations for chain approach management, in Cuba. Various national and international related methods, laws, programs, and policies were examined. The documentary review resulted in the classification of 10 factors, including four dimensions: availability (4), access (3), stability (1), and food use (2). The most commonly recognized factors by 16 authors were, 1) income level, 2) food prices, 3) local food production, 4) basic sanitation. A 5th factor was included, according to the authors’ criteria about the characteristics of the Cuban scenario: seasonality of crops and food items. They were linked to the agro-food chain through examples derived from the implementation of business projects and initiatives. It was concluded that the factors that determined access in terms of consumer market demand top priority in terms of municipal development strategies and Management of Municipal Administrations. Meanwhile, the limitations to apply this approach are mainly the contradictions between sector and local development

Para ello se analizan metodologías nacionales y foráneas, así como leyes, programas y políticas vinculadas a este proceso de gestión. Como resultado de la revisión documental se identifican y clasifican estos factores, así como su relación con los eslabones de las cadenas productivas. Además, se valoran las limitaciones para su gestión a nivel municipal. Ello pudiera emplearse por los Consejos de la Administración Municipal en Cuba, en el diseño de estrategias, programas y en la evaluación de este objetivo de desarrollo sostenible. Se clasificaron 15 factores entre las cuatro dimensiones: seis en la disponibilidad, cuatro en el acceso, tres en la estabilidad y cinco en el aprovechamiento biológico de los alimentos. De ellos seis se consideran relevantes para el desarrollo del enfoque de cadenas en la gestión de la seguridad alimentaria y desde la óptica organizacional el propio enfoque puede convertirse en un factor determinante para el incremento de la seguridad alimentaria
