Resumen
La Fortuna, Costa Rica, has
high potential for becoming a
sustainable destination
according to international GSTC
standards; however, it lacks local
sourcing of fresh agricultural
goods, even tough, some of them
there are locally grown. This
research describes the agri‐food
produce supply chain of four
selected products in the region
and addresses governance
mechanisms, price gaps and
overall limitations for an
effective supply chain.
Results provide an insight on
the supply chain mechanism and
main limitations of actors to
create win‐win partnerships
resulting in large price gaps
among supply chain links and
procurement inefficiencies.
