In Chile, small-scale farmers are classified according to old approaches from 1993 that do not include changes occurred in the last two decades. Maule is the region with most rural population in Chile which represents a significant stratum for development, innovation and competitiveness. This study explores a new approach of small-scale farmers -associated with Family Farm Agriculture (AFC) - classification in Chile and it describes a commercial profile or AFC-1 for famers of the Maule Region. A Cluster analysis to determine AFC-1 farmers is used. The analysis includes four association variables: Total Assets, Farm Income, Production Costs and Management Indicators. The results suggest that 16.4% of the farmers have a commercial profile and they could stay out support provided by the National Institute for Agricultural Development (INDAP). This group of farmers would not belong to AFC in short terms. This fact could bring restriction to AFC-1 farmers such as lack of credit access, less investment incentives and technical assistance. Thus, it would expect low process of technology adoption and welfare improvement. New agrarian policies must be warranted to support this important group of famers with a commercial profile.

Los nuevos escenarios están en franca vulnerabilidad. El fracaso del modelo económico imperante y los procesos de cambio de paradigmas con fuerte protagonismo, de las tecnologías y las nuevas prácticas de relación social, nos permitieron soportar el impacto. Hay una gran alternativa para proponer un nuevo modelo de desarrollo. Nuestro país lidera este proceso, donde la incorporación del Diseño en el territorio, se hace como valor intrínseco y herramienta de innovación. Se realiza en base a las oportunidades de transformación, generadas por los cambios de las tecnologías, de los contextos sociales, los mercados de referencia, las competencias y los recursos disponibles.
