Resumo(s)
The Prospective study of the technological needs of the vegetable and fruit row had, as the primary objective, the purpose of clearly identifying the technological needs for both rows so that the whole sector, meeting future trends in advance, could gain competitive advantage and thus promote its development priorities.
To perform a foresight study with a scientific orientation, we used the Delphi’s method. To follow this method, the collaboration of specialists from both areas of research is required. Being so, they were asked to answer to two surveys with the same statements – the only difference between them was that, following one of the principles of the method, the second round of the survey provided a feedback of the first responses . In the first round we managed to get 34 responses and in the second round the number of valid responses was 35.
The reduced number of answers given (35 out of 70 proposed) can, in a certain way, influence the results of the study, although it is sufficient in what concerns the achievement of some general tendencies. The questions that comprise the study were grouped into three groups referring to Production, Markets and Industry and Environment, Research and Others. We verified that the five most voted on the group 'Environment, Research and Other" were contained in the ten highest scores of the entire survey, which reveals the concern with these subjects. Regarding the subject of development, the statement to which more urgency was attributed is related to the creation of mechanisms for the results’ communication of R&D’ projects, being expected that strong developments in this area occur in the period until 2017.
The main difficulty we had was managing a higher involvement by the surveyed people, making them feel responsible for this process and, in this sense, achieving a bigger number of responses, also with better quality.
