Abstract
Es imprescindible que las cooperativas agroalimentarias, al igual que el resto de empresas agroalimentarias, se internacionalicen, y para ello es necesario partir del conocimiento de los problemas que las cooperativas encuentran en su desarrollo internacional. Utilizando una metodología que combina la revisión teórica con una investigación cualitativa, se identifican los principales problemas partiendo de una muestra de cooperativas españolas internacionalizadas. Una vez identificados, se clasifican diferenciando los externos de los internos. Los resultados obtenidos en este estudio exploratorio sugieren que las principales barreras externas son la competencia y la estructura de la distribución, mientras que las internas son la falta de recursos financieros, imagen y marca, e investigación y desarrollo. Identificados los problemas, los directivos y los organismos de apoyo, podrán articular las medidas necesarias para minimizarlos.
Food and agricultural cooperatives, as well as other food companies must consider internationalization as essential for them for their survival; and although there are governmental and private agencies that can support them in this challenge, it is necessary to deeply study the problems that cooperatives face in international markets. Using a methodology that combines theoretical review with qualitative research, the main problems from a sample of internationalized Spanish cooperatives are identified and classified by differentiating the internal from the external ones so as in the near future the necessary measures to minimize or avoid them could be taken by managers and support agencies. The results of this exploratory study, suggest that the most important external barriers are competition and the structure of the distribution, while the internal ones are the lack of, financial resources, image and brand, and research and development.
