Abstract
The paper is focused only to the objectives and justification of a program addressed to the oil palm sector growth in Colombia, in international competition conditions. It is intended to increased the existing plantation area at about 130.000 ha. during the next coming years. For such goal to be achieved, entrepreneurial projects will be encouraged, based on production cores whereupon small, medium and large producers may take part. Type A projects to be promoted have significant dimension and scale making easy to obtain competitiveness international standards and take advantage of the "know-how" and the available experience of Colombian sector. In the same way, project are proposed upon the basis of certified genetic materials, investment optimization per hectare, and a financial scheme consistent with the project operational flow. The project statement briefly shows the mains options and schemes to structure each project, their participants, roles and interrelations, and afterwards the analyze the elements assuring its feasibility from the economic and commercial stand points. Finally, a set of conclusions and recommendations are summarized to the potential participants on each project to assure its feasibility. La exposición se centra, inicialmente, en presentar los objetivos y la justificación de un programa dirigido al crecimiento del sector de palma de aceite en Colombia en condiciones de competitividad internacional. Se busca incrementar el área sembrada existente en alrededor 130.000 hectáreas durante los próximos diez años. Para lograr este objetivo se promoverán proyectos empresariales fundamentados en núcleos de producción, en donde pueden participar pequeños, medianos y grandes productores. Los proyectos tipo A cuentan con una dimensión y escala significativas que facilitan la obtención de estándares de competitividad internacional y aprovechan el "know-how" y la experiencia existente en el sector en Colombia. Así mismo, los proyectos se conforman con base en los materiales genéticos certificados, optimización de la inversión por hectárea y un esquema de financiación consistente con el flujo operacional del proyecto. La presentación ilustra brevemente las principales opciones y esquemas para estructurar cada proyecto, sus participantes, roles e interrelaciones, para luego analizar los elementos que aseguran su viabilidad desde los puntos de vista económico y comercial. Finalmente se esboza un grupo de conclusiones y recomendaciones a los potenciales participantes en cada proyecto para asegurar su viabilidad.
