Producer-agent information exchange network for coffee innovations in Las Crucitas community
Figure 3 depicts the network of information exchange relationships with regard to innovations in coffee
production among producers and agents in San Marcos. The information exchange relationships are
dominated by IHCAFE and the development agency ASONOG-FLO. AHPROCAFE and the local cooperative,
COCASAM, also play important roles. Other types of agents seem to play marginal or no roles in the
network. Again there are a number of producers, such as SM1, SM8 and SM20, with a high degree of
connectedness, viz. they play important roles in providing other producers with information how to
innovate.
