    Se usó el proceso analítico de red (ANP) para analizar la funcionalidad de organizaciones de pequeños agricultores. Se consultó a 12 expertos para verificar la relevancia del modelo y asignar juicios de valor a los criterios de los conjuntos propuestos. Los juicios se agregaron mediante la técnica AIJ; después de la síntesis, se estimaron los pesos de importancia para los criterios. Los resultados muestran que los criterios del grupo interno son los que mayor importancia se atribuye para la funcionalidad, destacando el liderazgo y la capacidad de gestión, junto al entorno de mercado y el logro de los objetivos propuestos.

    The analytical network process (ANP) was used to analyze the functionality of small farmers’ organizations; 12 experts were consulted to verify the relevance and assign value comparative judgments to the criteria´s of the internal, external and functional sets. Judgments were added through AIJ technique, after of synthesis weights of relative importance for the criteria’s were estimated. The results show that the criteria´s of the internal set are the ones that are most important for the functionality, highlighting the leadership and management capacity, together with the market environment and the achievement of the objectives proposed by the members.
