description Using the farm as unit of analysis, diagnosis processes aimed at improving production systems are reviewed. Within a country, diagnosis should be conducted at different hierarchical levels: local (interaction between the production system and the input distribution sector, the marketing sector, possible forms of processing, and consumption characteristics); regional (appropriate selection of target site); and national (development trends and governmental policies at the macroeconomic and sectorial levels). Governmental goals common to developing countries are listed as well as several means to achieve them. Macroeconomic trends that could affect the feasibility of production systems studies are analyzed, namely growth of income per capita, urbanization, improved infrastructure and transportation, industrialization, and availability of domestic and foreign capital. The importance of having access to in-depth knowledge of the region is highlighted. The region is selected on the basis of two criteria, the technical and economic feasibility of the project and the expected distributive impact, as illustrated by the projects to improve cassava marketing, carried out on Colombia's Atlantic Coast. Local socioeconomic factors that could affect possible research and development projects are also analyzed. The importance of comprehending the different interacting components of the production system is highlighted; these include the relationship between supply and demand, the relationship between sales and self- consumption, margins of commercialization and their stability, capacity of the marketing system to absorb increasing amounts, influence of the market on production quality and timing, integration between processing and production, and inputs. The interaction between socioeconomic and agronomic problems is emphasized. (CIAT)

(CIAT) Se consideran los procesos de diagnostico dirigidos a mejorar sistemas de produccion, utilizando la finca como unidad de analisis. Dentro de un pais, el diagnostico se realiza a diferentes niveles jerarquicos: local (interaccion entre el sistema de produccion y el sector de distribucion de insumos, el sector de mercadeo, posibles formas de procesamiento y caracteristicas de consumo); regional (seleccion apropiada de la zona de trabajo); y nacional (tendencias de desarrollo y politicas gubernamentales a nivel macroeconomico y por sector). Se enumeran los objetivos gubernamentales comunes a los paises en desarrollo y algunas medidas para lograrlos. Se analizan las tendencias macroeconomicas que pueden afectar la factibilidad de investigar en sistemas de produccion, como crecimiento del ingreso per capita, urbanizacion, mejoramiento de infraestructura y transporte, industrializacion, disponibilidad de capital domestico e internacional. Se destaca la importancia del conocimiento regional para el diagnostico. La region se selecciona con base en los criterios de factibilidad tecnica y economica del proyecto anticipado y en el impacto distributivo que se espera obtener, como lo ilustran los proyectos para mejorar el mercadeo de la yuca realizados en la Costa Atlantica de Colombia. Tambien se analizan los factores socioeconomicos locales que pueden afectar los posibles proyectos de investigacion y desarrollo. Se destaca la importancia de comprender los diferentes componentes que interactuan en el sistema de produccion, que incluyen relacion entre oferta y demanda, relacion entre venta y autoconsumo, margenes de comercializacion y estabilidad de los mismos, capacidad del sistema de mercadeo de absorber cantidades crecientes, influencia del mercadeo en la calidad y momento de produccion, integracion entre procesamiento y produccion e insumos, entre otros. Se enfatiza la interaccion entre los problemas socioeconomicos y los agronomicos.
