Resumen
Las empresas forestales comunitarias (EFC) requieren habilidades de planificación comercial regional para establecer y mantener asociaciones comerciales a mayor escala. El objetivo de este estudio es identificar la percepción de cuatro EFC contrastantes sobre las limitaciones y oportunidades de escalamiento en el centro
de México, con base en el nivel de desarrollo de aprovechamiento silvícola y organización social, aplicando entrevistas a diferentes actores. El análisis cualitativo de obstáculos y oportunidades sugiere que las estrategias de escalamiento deben fomentar capacitación técnica y administrativa, desarrollar infraestructura y gobernanza interna sólida, que favorezca la diversificación económica, y mayores ingresos derivados del manejo forestal.
