description This article figures out spatial patterns for Boyacá’s agriculture and exposes the behavior of production. Applying gravitational concepts we describe relevant spatial interactions across municipalities usingvariables as population, output and linear distances. We perform an econometric model for detecting the class of spatial dependence showed by agricultural output as endogenous using as arguments distance toTunja and rural population. We deploy standard tools of spatial analysis and empirical strategies for identify clusters of towns according with their performance and productivity. Statistical contrast indicates that the most suitable scheme for describing spatial dependence in production is spatial lag model. Econometrics conveys important clues demonstrating that higher scales output is conducted to urban national markets and output produced with scarce scales is sold locally in local towns. A strong subjacent idea is that lagged municipalities are badly influenced by geographical isolation and high transportation costs do hinder the social and economic development in Boyacá.

Se indagan los patrones espaciales de la agricultura boyacense analizando el comportamiento de la producción. Apelando a conceptos gravitacionales se describen relevantes interacciones espaciales entre municipios, usando como variables la población, la producción agrícola y las distancias lineales. La econometría espacial detecta la índole de la dependencia espacial exhibida por la producción en función de la distancia a Tunja y de la población rural. Se despliegan herramientas del análisis espacial y estrategias empíricas para identificar clústeres de municipios de acuerdo con su desempeño y productividad. Los contrastes estadísticos recomiendan elegir el modelo de rezago espacial como más apto para explicar la dependencia espacial. Interesantes resultados econométricos sugieren que la producción con altas economías de escala se destina a los mercados sólidos y la pequeña producción parcelaria se vende en el propio municipio. Definitivamente, los altos costos de transporte constituyen un impedimento insalvable que interfiere en el desarrollo en las zonas más apartadas y menos productivas.
