| description | The Andean blueberry (Vaccinium meridionale Swartz), known locally as agraz, possess a high level of anthocyanins and antioxidants and represents a socio-economical, environmental, and cultural alternative in Colombia. However, a characterization of the agri-food system has been done, limiting strategies for its valorization. The objective of this study was to characterize the Localized Agri-food System (SYAL) of the Andean blueberry in the Occidente and Ricaurte provinces of the Boyaca Department of Colombia. Three analytical axes were used within the SYAL approach: territorial anchorage, activation processes, and links between product quality and territory. The farmer product circuit methodology was used to identify agents linked to the product commercialization chain in the territory, and their participation was estimated. Data treatment was performed with descriptive statistics and multivariate analysis, specifically principal component analysis for numerical variables and multiple correspondence analysis for categorical variables. A SYAL was evident in the early stages of consolidation, with exceptional adaptations to the biophysical conditions in the territory. Finally, four groups of actors were identified, where the main discriminating variable was membership in an organization of farmers, a determining condition for business competitiveness in the territory. |

El agraz (Vaccinium meridionale Swartz) es una fruta considerada como alimento funcional por su contenido de antocianinas y antioxidantes, posee alto potencial de consumo y representa una alternativa en términos socio-económicos, ambientales y culturales para la población de Colombia. No obstante, no existe una caracterización del sistema agroalimentario, lo cual limita la puesta en marcha de estrategias para su valorización. El objetivo de este trabajo fue caracterizar el Sistema Agroalimentario Localizado (SIAL) de agraz de las provincias de Occidente y Ricaurte del departamento de Boyacá-Colombia. Para el efecto, se utilizaron tres ejes analíticos dentro del enfoque SIAL, a saber: el anclaje territorial, los procesos de activación y el vínculo entre la calidad del producto y el territorio. Para identificar los agentes que se vinculan a la cadena de comercialización del producto se empleó la metodología de Circuitos de productos de origen campesino y se calculó la participación del productor. El tratamiento de los datos se realizó con estadística descriptiva y análisis multivariado, específicamente análisis de componentes principales para variables numéricas, y análisis de correspondencia múltiple para las variables categóricas. Se evidenció un SIAL en estadios tempranos de consolidación con adaptaciones excepcionales a las condiciones biofísicas del territorio. Finalmente, se identificaron cuatro grupos de actores, siendo la principal variable discriminante el hecho de pertenecer a una organización de agraceros, siendo ésta la condición determinante sobre la competitividad empresarial en el territorio.
