| description | In Colombia, studies on the levels of financial literacy in rural areas are very scarce. In the case of the municipality of Corozal, industrial cassava production represents 65.3% of agricultural production. However, despite the imperative role that this sector plays in the economy of the municipality, there are no previous studies available on the levels of financial literacy of industrial cassava producers. Therefore, this study determines the level of financial literacy of industrial cassava producers in this municipality, and examines whether gender, age, education level, years of experience, and farm size are related to the financial education of these producers. Methodologically, this study is quantitative, descriptive, non-experimental and cross-sectional. Therefore, a questionnaire is adapted from Potrich et al. (2016) and Akoto et al. (2017) and includes the high, medium and low financial literacy ranges proposed by Chen and Volpe (1998) and adapted by Akoto et al. (2017). Results suggest that industrial cassava producers have low levels of financial literacy. Likewise, the low level of financial literacy of industrial cassava producers is associated with factors such as education level and age. |

En Colombia los estudios sobre los niveles de alfabetización financiera en las zonas rurales son muy escasos. En el municipio de Corozal la producción de yuca industrial representa el 65,3% de la producción agropecuaria. Sin embargo, a pesar del papel imperativo que juega este sector en la economía del municipio, no existen estudios previos disponibles sobre los niveles de alfabetización financiera de los productores de yuca industrial. Por ello, este estudio determina el nivel de alfabetización financiera de los productores de yuca industrial en el municipio de Corozal (Colombia) y examina si el género, la edad, el nivel de educación, los años de experiencia y el tamaño del predio están relacionados con la educación financiera de estos productores. Metodológicamente este estudio es cuantitativo de tipo descriptivo, no experimental y de corte transversal. Por ello, se aplicó un cuestionario adaptado de Potrich et al. (2016) y Akoto et al. (2017). Se tuvieron en cuenta los rangos de alfabetización financiera alto, medio y bajo propuestos por Chen y Volpe (1998) y adaptados por Akoto et al. (2017). Los resultados indican que los productores de yuca industrial tienen bajos niveles de alfabetización financiera. Así mismo, el bajo nivel de alfabetización financiera de los productores de yuca industrial en Corozal está asociado a factores el nivel de educación y la edad Universidad de Cartagena 2022-04-15 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://revistas.unicartagena.edu.co/index.php/panoramaeconomico/article/view/4211 10.32997/pe-2022-4211 Panorama Económico Journal; Vol. 30 No. 2 (2022); 90-103 Panorama Económico; Vol. 30 Núm. 2 (2022); 90-103 Panorama Económico; v. 30 n. 2 (2022); 90-103 2463-0470 0122-8900 10.32997/pe-2022 spa https://revistas.unicartagena.edu.co/index.php/panoramaeconomico/article/view/4211/3357 /*ref*/Agarwalla, S.
