This project intends to identify the existing applications of chaos and complexity theories in the supply chain of the Colombian agribusiness sector. Furthermore, the specific objectives are to achieve the description of the agribusiness sector and its supply chain, identify models of chaos and complexity and determine which of these are applicable to the sector. Chaos is a sub-discipline of mathematics that studies complex and dynamic systems and has immersed philosophical and mathematical implications, while the complexity is the quality that becomes a system in which there are many related components. It will be a monograph about the supply chain of the agribusiness sector. In the Colombian context there have been various studies focused on building agribusiness models, where the concept of complexity is adopted to qualify the attribute of these models involving the harmonization and integration of the different actors, from producers to consumers. This project aims to identify existing applications of chaos and complexity in the supply chain of the Colombian agribusiness sector. This paper is in the Finance & Marketing line of investigation, in the project of Corporate Finance. As final result, it’s found that theories of chaos and complexity are present in the supply chain of the Colombian agribusiness sector because there is an interconnection between producers, industrials and dealers, interacting with each other and showing alterations on their economic behavior over the time depending on variations on initial conditions influenced by macroeconomic, environmental, social and political variables.
