Traditionally, rural development has lacked an entrepreneurial approach because it has given priority to the search of options to market its produce, without studying the market demand to offer other alternatives of agricultural production. This handbook is a tool that offers market orientation to small rural producers, located in a given microregion. It describes a methodology that aims to identify, assess, and take advantage of market opportunities.
