The following study focuses on evaluating the development of technological capabilities in the productive units dedicated to the cultivation of Passifloras in the Huila department. To accomplish this, the theoretical framework provided by CEPAL was employed, applying techniques of principal component analysis and the K-means algorithm to group the data obtained from the microdata of the Censo Nacional Agropecuario. The results revealed a low level of development in the technological capabilities from the evaluated productive units. It was identified that approximately 73% of these units had deficiencies in elements related to the effort indicator, in aspects such as the associativity among producers, the investment of economic resources in technology and equipment, as well as the implementation of soil improvement practices and pest control. On the other hand, as a notable strength, a significant participation was observed, averaging 55% of the productive units in the indicator of infrastructure. This included features such as the age of the machinery used and access to basic public services such as electricity and drinking water. These findings highlight the need for implementing policies and programs aimed at strengthening technological capabilities in Huila’s agricultural sector, with a particular focus on promoting associativity among producers, investment in technology and sustainable agricultural practices, as well as modernization of agricultural infrastructure. This comprehensive approach is essential for promoting sustainable and competitive agricultural development in the region.
