This study aims to analyze farmers' management skills and their participation in the decision-making process in their institutions. A total of 130 farmers were surveyed using a questionnaire, focusing on different variables in productive, social and economic areas. A descriptive statistical analysis was used to explain the main evidence. As a result, outstanding farmers' skills for management and participation in agricultural institutions and the community were identified, supporting the decision-making process and strategic planning, regardless of their socio-economic status.
