Descripción
Sumario:The relationship between the concentration of poverty at the departmental level in Colombia and the allocation of the agricultural development credit is analyzed, taking into account the departments as well as the type of borrower (small, medium and large), through FINAGRO or of the Banco Agrario de Colombia for the period 2006 - 2016. The Grouping Analysis Model is considered, hierarchical, agglomerated and by medium chain. Of those, 19 departments of the country whose Multidimensional Poverty Index (WPI) is above the national average are analyzed. Relative Participation Index (IPR) is considered by department, by line and by user, it is shown how the development credit policy in the country presents a high concentration in typically receiving departments and is channeled mainly to medium and large producers. In this way, we can conclude that the small landowners in the departments furthest from the center of the country receive less allowances, contributing to their poverty levels lasting over time.
