Abstract

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic affected the productive dynamics in economic activities, especially in the agricultural sector where a large number of resources, people, capacities and opportunities are concentrated in emerging economies. The analysis of these problems will make it possible to guide actions to mitigate the effects on agricultural transformation processes. Methodology: This quantitative descriptive research analyzes aggregate variables of twelve economic activities related to the ReaCTÍvate Santander project according to the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC 4) from 2017 to 2022. Results: It was possible to understand the dynamics of the agricultural sector of the Department of Santander, Colombia before and after the pandemic. Discussion: Innovative proposals should be created that include prospective growth, adaptability, labor transformation, capacity building, sophistication and improvements in productivity and efficiency of the agricultural sector. Conclusions: It was identified that the progress achieved in the products and structures of the agricultural value chain improve development options and the quality of life of the population in rural areas.
