El crecimiento de la producción pecuaria dentro de las pequeñas y medianas explotaciones ha sido constante en los últimos años, así como la feminización del campo. En la serranía del Ecuador, estos procesos pueden observarse con mayor detalle, especialmente en aquellas provincias que se encuentran en el centro del país. Esto ha motivado a analizar la dinámica de los pequeños productores de las provincias de Chimborazo, Cotopaxi y Tungurahua, por medio de la aplicación de una encuesta a 793 agricultores, donde se revisan las características socio-productivas relacionadas con la producción de leche de ganado bovino. Los resultados demuestran que, comparativamente, la producción de leche se concentra en extensiones entre 0,5 y 1 hectárea, siendo la provincia de Tungurahua en donde existe una mayor distribución del tamaño de las explotaciones; sin embargo, la provincia de Chimborazo mantiene un rango de ingresos familiares superiores a las otras dos provincias. Se concluye que los incentivos sobre factores que mejoren la modernización de las explotaciones pueden incidir directamente en los ingresos familiares que no superan el 40% la remuneración básica mensual del Ecuador.]]></p></abstract>

The growth of livestock production within small and medium farms has been constant in recent years, as well as the feminization of the agriculture. In the Sierra of Ecuador, these processes can be observed with more detail, especially in provinces located in the Sierra center. This has motivated to analyze the dynamics of the small producers of the provinces of Chimborazo, Cotopaxi and Tungurahua. This work shows the results of a survey that allows to analyze, from a sample of 793 farmers, the socio-productive characteristics of the bovine milk farms. Results show that, comparatively, milk production is concentrated in extensions between 0.5 and 1 hectares, being the province of Tungurahua the one with more size distribution of the farms; however, the province of Chimborazo maintains a higher range of family income than the other two provinces. Finally, it is concluded that incentives on factors that improve the modernization of farms can affect family income that does not exceed 40% of the basic monthly remuneration.]]></p></abstract>
