Canned Vegetable Industries
Background
The high level of agricultural development in certain countries led to regional industrialization focused on the production of food consumer goods.
It began in the second half of the 19th century and solidified as a global endogenous industrial activity.
In the 1960s, the vegetable canning industry experienced expansion due to increased international and national demand.
The canning sector has distinctive characteristics, including specialization in low-value-added products, strong seasonality, and challenges in supply and financing.
Despite its fragile structure, it attracts foreign investment and adopts technological innovations during periods of growth while competing on prices.
In the 1970s, energy crises and changes in the retail sector affected vegetable canning companies.
Closure of artisanal establishments and significant job losses between 1979 and 1983.
In the early 1990s, a financial crisis in the sector due to poor financial decisions and short-term debt.
Bankruptcies and family conflicts in companies without professional management.
Shift in consumption patterns towards products with higher quality and added value.
Currently, the sector faces challenges in quality, the environment, technology, and financial planning.
Companies, Geographic Delimitation, and Investment
Diversity of companies, from small family-owned businesses to large multinational corporations.
Small and medium-sized enterprises dominate the traditional canning, concentrates, and frozen sectors.
Large companies control the markets for juices/nectars and frozen products, with increasing concentration and foreign capital.
Gross Production, Intermediate Consumption, and Added Value
Production is subject to seasonality, dependent on agricultural raw materials.
Intermediate consumption mainly includes raw materials, but the dependence on local supply has weakened.
Reduction in the dependence on intermediate consumption in gross production between 1994 and 1999.
