Procesos de industrialización en regiones de américa latina: caso provincia de El Oro.

Abstract

In Latin America, industrialization has been a key strategy for economic and social progress, taking advantage of its rich natural resources and cultural diversity. However, Ecuador, particularly the province of El Oro, faces insufficient industrial development, relying heavily on the primary sector. The importance of adding value to agricultural products such as bananas, cocoa and shrimp to improve the living conditions of the population is highlighted. In contrast, countries such as Brazil, Argentina and Mexico have achieved significant progress through industrialization, driven by foreign investment, fiscal incentives and the development of industrial infrastructure. It is emphasized the need for effective collaboration between authorities, companies and other stakeholders to promote sustainable industrial growth. The research highlights successful cases such as Brazil and Mexico, where foreign investment incentive policies and protectionist measures have yielded positive results. Therefore, it is suggested hat these approaches could be applied in the province of El Oro and Ecuador to stimulate industrial growth.
