description The purpose of this paper is to identify the state of agro-industrial competitiveness in the Department of Boyacá. To carry this out, the variables of productivity and competitiveness were considered along with the factors of production and marketing. Also, technology, innovation and knowledge management applied by companies were taken into account. To identify the above features, a survey, which was administered to 106 agro-businesses in the Department of Boyacá, was applied in 2011. It was concluded that in general terms the current situation in the sector is not unfavorable, however, companies are not considering elements such as: marketing, investment in research, innovation and qualified personnel, and the standardization of processes. Also, expertise from universities is not usable and technological resources are very limited, which in the middle and long term threatens both the current position and the survival of the agro-industrial sector.

El objetivo del presente artículo es identificar el estado de la competitividad agroindustrial en el departamento de Boyacá. Para ello se consideraron las variables de productividad y competitividad, junto con los factores de producción y mercadeo. Igualmente se tuvieron en cuenta las tecnologías de la información, la innovación y la gestión del conocimiento aplicado por las empresas. Para identificar los anteriores aspectos se construyó una encuesta, la cual fue aplicada a 106 empresas agroindustriales del departamento de Boyacá, durante el año 2011. Se concluyó que en términos generales el panorama actual del sector no es desfavorable, sin embargo, las empresas están descuidando elementos como el marketing, la inversión en innovación e investigación y en personal competente y la normalización de procesos, además, no se atrae conocimiento de las universidades y los recursos tecnológicos son muy limitados, lo que a mediano y largo plazo pone en serio peligro tanto el posicionamiento actual como la supervivencia del sector agroindustrial.
