Mechanics and participation requirements
Companies that wish to compete in the category of economic performance must have financial information on the portal of the SUPERINTENDENCE OF INSURANCE AND SECURITIES COMPANIES (SUPERCIAS) and trade information (SENAE) for the periods 2018-2020, in addition to being duly registered with the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries (MAGAP).
The official publication of the call will include the link to the registration form. Candidates must provide the requested contact information, and must also select the categories in which they wish to participate.
The contest will be divided into two macro categories. The first will evaluate quantitative indicators with the aim of measuring the economic and financial performance of exporting companies in the sector during the 2018-2020 period. To achieve this purpose, financial and trade data sets taken from official pages such as SUPERCIAS and SENAE will be used. Participants who register in this category will not need to provide additional information to that required in the registration link.
The second category will focus on measuring the Sustainability of the sector. Participants who register in it must fill out an evaluation instrument (questionnaire) that will be sent to the institutional email they provide. The term to fill out the form will be one week (from January 13 to January 19, 2022). Once the term has expired, access to the instrument will be closed and no more responses will be accepted. Those participants who do not fully complete the form will be automatically disqualified.
Additionally, we must indicate that the companies that so wish may participate in both categories, since they are not exclusive.
