| description | This paper describes the socioeconomic and technological characteristics of the eggplant production system in the microregions of the Sinú Valley and Sucre Savannas in Colombia. Through the simple random sampling technique, we selected 62 farmers. It was collected data using a formal structured survey previously tested and analyzed. Small producers plant the crop in an average area of 0.6 hectares. The average age is 53 years with more than 30 years of experience in cultivation. It is less expensive to produce eggplant in the state of Sucre than in Córdoba, due to the proportion in which labor is involved in production costs, because they are higher for Sucre State with 75% of the total costs, on the contrary, in Córdoba State the labor force participates in 63%. The net income is higher in the case of Córdoba owing to the difference in yields, which are 35 t/ha-1 while for Sucre they are 25 t/ha-1. With regard to marketing margins, for each monetary unit that the consumer pays, $ 0.82 constitutes profits that are in the intermediation chain distributed. The participation of 53 % intermediation is very high. We conclude that the farmer is the one who risks the most and who receives the least from this difference in the price between the farmer and the final consumer. |

Este estudio describe las características socioeconómicas y tecnológicas del sistema de producción de berenjena en las microrregiones del Valle del Sinú y Sabanas de Colombia. A través de la técnica de muestreo aleatorio simple se seleccionaron 62 agricultores. Los datos fueron recolectados utilizando una encuesta formal estructurada, previamente probada y analizada. Se encontró que el cultivo es sembrado por pequeños productores en un área promedio de 0,6 hectáreas. La edad promedio de los productores es de 53 años con más de 30 años de experiencia en el cultivo. Resulta menos costoso producir berenjena en el departamento de Sucre que en Córdoba, lo que se explica por la proporción en que participa la mano de obra en los costos de producción, debido a que es mayor para el departamento de Sucre con el 75 % del total de los costos; por el contrario, en el departamento de Córdoba la mano de obra participa en un 63 %. Los ingresos netos son mayores en el caso del departamento de Córdoba por la diferencia de los rendimientos, los cuales son de 35 t ha-1, en tanto que para el departamento de Sucre son de 25 t ha-1. Con relación a los márgenes de comercialización, por cada unidad monetaria que paga el consumidor, $0,82 constituyen utilidades que se distribuyen en la cadena de intermediación, la cual corresponde a un valor muy alto, siendo este de un 53 %. Se concluye que el agricultor es el que más arriesga y el que menos recibe de esta diferencia del precio entre el agricultor y el consumidor final.
