Abstract
in recent years the internationalization process in the Peruvian agricultural sector has been experiencing significant growth because of the dynamism of the agro-export sector. Nonetheless, the high degree of farm atomization and farmer's dispersion is one of the remaining structural issues for better productivity and competitiveness rates in the agricultural sector. Thereby increasing the benefit rates of smallholder farmers because they are part of the global agrifood system, is still a remaining challenge. This study's aim was to explore the predictive role of characteristics in smallholder to belong to a farmer organization, as conditions that make it possible to predict smallholder farmers' access to the foreign market as a benefit of associativity. This research use data from the Peruvian Agricultural National Survey (ENA) collected in 2017. Through a logistic regression approach, farm conditions like territory, farmer organization type, farmer organization age, and farm core activity (crop and/or livestock), were tested as factors to increase the farms' likelihood to get access to foreign markets.
