| description | One of the primary functions of the peasant economy is the production of food for self-consumption. This activity is carried out without the detriment of the generation of surpluses to commercialise and thus satisfy other essential needs; in this way, the peasant families organise their production. Given this context, farmers seek for different channels to commercialise their products. For the analysed cases, ( the municipalities of Fuente de Oro, in Meta State, and El Colegio, in Cundinamarca State), the commercialisation of products has been carried out through the program called ‘Mercados Campesinos’ and other alternative channels. Through the methodology ‘Circuito de Mercados Campesinos', an accompaniment to a family from each municipality was made to identify the advantages and disadvantages of the commercialisation channels used by them. The findings show that the marketing in the ‘Mercados Campesinos’ is the favourite one, even though, they continue searching for alternative channels to access other markets. The most significant limitation that was identified during the process was transporting, which makes that peasants look for the middleman to facilitate getting to markets. |

Una de las principales funciones de la economía campesina es la producción de alimentos para autoconsumo. Esta actividad es realizada sin desmedro de la generación de excedentes para comercializar y así satisfacer otras necesidades básicas; de esta forma las familias campesinas organizan su producción. En este contexto, los campesinos buscan diferentes canales para comercializar sus productos. Para los casos estudiados, municipios de Fuente de Oro, departamento del Meta; y El Colegio, departamento de Cundinamarca, la comercialización se hace a través del Programa Mercados Campesinos, pero también por medio de otros canales fuera del Programa. Mediante la metodología ‘Circuitos de Mercados Campesinos’ se hizo acompañamiento a una familia de cada municipio, con el fin de identificar ventajas y desventajas de los canales de comercialización usados por ellos. Los hallazgos muestran que la comercialización a través de los Mercados Campesinos es la preferida, aún cuando se continúa en la búsqueda de canales propios para comercializar. La limitante más relevante que se identificó durante el proceso es el transporte, lo cual hace que el campesinado recurra a la intermediación.
