| description | The research aims to identify Ecuador's strategic insertion in the Drug Trafficking Value Chain. Through qualitative research, remote sensing techniques, spatial geographic analysis, semi-structured interviews and analysis of information from primary and secondary sources, the rise of drug trafficking on the northern border is characterized. The study concludes that Ecuador went from being a transit country to a country that occupies a privileged position in the value chain of drug trafficking. The evidence generated from the discovery of 700 hectares of illicit coca leaf crops in Esmeraldas, Carchi and Sucumbíos, the multiple supply routes from Colombia, as well as territorial disputes and the increase in violence from 2015 to 2019, make Ecuador an ideal territory for the global economy of organized crime. |

La investigación tiene por objetivo identificar la inserción estratégica del Ecuador en la cadena de valor del narcotráfico. Mediante una metodología cualitativa, técnicas de teledetección, análisis geográfico espacial, entrevistas semiestructuradas y análisis de información de fuentes primarias y secundarias, se caracteriza el ascenso del narcotráfico en la frontera norte. El estudio concluye que el Ecuador pasó de ser un país de tránsito a un país que ocupa un puesto privilegiado en la cadena de valor del narcotráfico. Las evidencias generadas a partir del hallazgo de 700 hectáreas de cultivos ilícitos de hoja de coca en Esmeraldas, Carchi y Sucumbíos, las múltiples rutas de abastecimiento desde Colombia, así como las disputas territoriales y el incremento de la violencia desde 2015 a 2019 hacen del Ecuador un territorio ideal para la economía global del crimen organizado.
