| description | Avocado is one of the most desirable fruits worldwide because of its flavor and nutritional contributions. Currently, Colombia is a very dynamic country where the cultivated area and volumes of exported fruits have been increasing year after year. This situation poses a challenge for the country, which must produce fruits with excellent parameters of ripening, external and internal quality. This study used a series of elements associated with quality in avocado and its application in tropical conditions, which were determined based on reports from the world scientific literature reported in journals, books, manuals and conferences. In addition, information obtained from commercial esays on plantations and the experiences of packing and marketing companies in Colombia was used. The approach presented here is associated with a modern concept of quality in the food industry and how it can be applied to the avocado value chain; preharvest aspects that determine quality, management practices conducive to improving quality, and harvest parameters and their relationship with quality were also used. This study generated alternatives for increasing the added value in the avocado production system based on quality parameters and identified delays in the supply chain of this important agro-industry under tropical conditions. |

El aguacate es una de las frutas más deseables en todo el mundo debido a su sabor y aportes nutricionales. Colombia es un país muy dinámico, donde el área plantada y los volúmenes de fruta exportada han ido creciendo año tras año. Esta situación plantea un desafío para el país, que debe producir en función de la calidad, logrando posicionar una fruta con excelentes parámetros de maduración, calidad externa e interna. En este trabajo, se presentan una serie de elementos asociados con la calidad del aguacate y su aplicación a las condiciones tropicales, que se determinaron con base en reportes de la literatura científica mundial como revistas, libros, manuales y conferencias. Además, utilizamos información obtenida a través de ensayos comerciales de plantaciones y experiencias de empresas de empaque y comercialización en Colombia. El enfoque presentado aquí está asociado con un concepto moderno de calidad en la industria alimentaria y cómo se puede aplicar a la cadena de valor del aguacate, también presentamos aspectos de cosecha y poscosecha que determinan la calidad y prácticas de manejo conducentes a mejorar la calidad. Este trabajo genera alternativas para aumentar el valor agregado en el sistema de producción de aguacate con base en parametros de calidad e identifica los retrasos de la cadena de valor de esta importante agroinustria bajo condiciones tropicales.
