  Este trabajo analiza la conveniencia de incorporar la teoría de Salarios de Eficiencia (SE) como estrategia para acrecentar la competitividad del sector agrícola de Cundina- marca - Colombia, dada la potencialidad del sector y la crisis alimentaria mundial. En principio se determina la probabilidad de existencia de los SE en el sector, partiendo de lo propuesto por Shapiro y Stiglitz (1984) con datos obtenidos de la secretaria de agricultura de Cundinamarca. A partir de los resultados encontrados se propone una estrategia para mejorar la competitividad del sector, fortaleciéndolo con miras a un pro- ceso de internacionalización hacia la Unión Europea (UE).
