Abstract
Este artículo muestra los resultados del análisis comparativo
de precios y volúmenes ofertados del culantro de
castilla en los principales mercados mayoristas de Costa
Rica y Panamá. Como antecedente se tiene la ejecución
de una gira de prospección realizada en el 2009 a Ciudad
de Panamá por parte de los colaboradores del proyecto
“Investigación de mercados agrícolas” de la Estación Experimental
Fabio Baudrit de la Universidad de Costa Rica.
En esta gira se detectó que el culantro castilla presentaba
interesantes oportunidades de mercado gracias al precio
y a la calidad del producto ofertado, razón por la cual
se definió, como línea de trabajo, profundizar en aspectos
de esta índole para determinar las particularidades de los
principales mercados mayoristas de cada país en el caso
de este alimento. Se llevó a cabo una revisión de series
de tiempo para datos de precio y oferta emitidos por las
fuentes encargadas de cada mercado, con los que se realizaron
comparaciones de estadísticos y análisis de tendencia
por regresión lineal, los cuales permitieron dimensionar
las diferencias entre ambos sitios para enmarcar el comportamiento
del culantro castilla como potencial agronegocio,
relacionado con el consumo a nivel de cada país.
Entre los principales hallazgos, se puede mencionar que
en Costa Rica históricamente ha existido un mayor consumo
de esta hortaliza en comparación con Panamá, sin
embargo, la tendencia detectada en Panamá, en cuanto a
precios y volúmenes ofertados, está creciendo a mayor
velocidad en este último mercado. Las diferencias promedio
de precios pagados en Panamá superan por más del
100% a los pagados en Costa Rica por la misma unidad de
comercialización según series mensuales para un periodo
de 4 años, razón por la que se afinó la observación y se
analizaron las plazas de comercialización para un total de
246 plazas mayoristas, donde se encontró que en el 94%
de las veces el precio fue mayor en el Mercado Central de
Alimentos (MAC) en Panamá que en el Centro Nacional
de Abastecimiento y Distribución de Alimentos (Cenada)
en Costa Rica.
Se descubrió que las plazas con mayores diferencias de
precios a favor del MAC se efectuaron entre la tercera
semana de mayo y las tres primeras semanas de junio, por
lo que se asume que serían los momentos más oportunos
para obtener el mejor precio posible para ingresar
al mercado panameño con culantro castilla costarricense.
This article shows the results of comparative analysis for prices and volumes offered for coriander in major wholesale markets in Costa Rica and Panama. As background there is the execution of an investigation job in 2009 to Panama City by the project partners “Research of markets for agricultural products” at Fabio Baudrit Experimental Station at the University of Costa Rica. During this job, it was found that coriander involves interesting market opportunities by the effects of price and quality of product offered, therefore it was defined as a line of work go deep into aspects of this kind to determine the particularities and characteristics of the major wholesale markets for this two countries in the case of this food. The methodology consisted of reviewing time series for price and supply data issued by the sources responsible for each market, which permit to make statistical comparisons and trend analysis by linear regression which allows measure the differences between the two sites for a better understanding of the behavior of coriander as a potential agribusiness, related to the consumption level of each country. Among the main findings can be mentioned that Costa Rica has historically been a major consumer of this crop in comparison to what happened in Panama, but the trend detected in Panama in terms of prices and volumes offered is growing faster in the latter market. The average price difference of more than 100% observed in Panama to comparison to Costa Rica for prices paid of the same marketing unit for a monthly series for a period of 4 years, hence the observation was refined and it was analyzed the squares marketing for a period at 246 squares wholesalers, it was found that in 94% of the times the price was higher in the Central Food Market (MAC) in Panama in comparison of the National Center for Food Supplies and Distribution (Cenada) in Costa Rica. It was found that the squares with higher price differences for the MAC occurred between the third week of May and the first three weeks of June, which means they would be more timely from the point of view of obtaining the best possible price to enter the Panamanian market with coriander from Costa Rica in these weeks.
