This short article explains a method already used by the author in the case of Guatemala to estimate the economic consequences of the land use changes driven by oil palm plantations. The innovative method accounts not only for the direct land use change outcomes, but also the impacts on forward and backward sectors of the agricultural activities and allows for sub-national estimations, using territorial input-output-matrices. Therefore, it is suggested that this method be applied also in the case of Colombia. This would allow highlighting differences and probably also some commonalities with respect to the characteristics of the expansion of this flex crop.
Este artículo corto explica un método ya utilizado por el autor en el caso de Guatemala para estimar las consecuencias económicas de los cambios en el uso del suelo causados por las plantaciones de palma aceitera. Este método innovador da cuenta no solo de los resultados del cambio directo en el uso del suelo, sino también de los impactos en los sectores hacia adelante y hacia atrás de las actividades agrícolas y permite realizar estimaciones sub-nacionales, utilizando matrices territoriales de insumo-producto. Por lo tanto, se sugiere que este método se aplique también en el caso de Colombia. Esto permitiría resaltar las diferencias y probablemente también los puntos en común con respecto a las características de la expansión de este cultivo flexible.
