Abstract (English): The overall objective of this study is to analyze the strategies for Ecuadorian cane liquor to access the US market in the period 2020-2024, identifying the main trade barriers and opportunities that affect its international positioning. The research was conducted using a qualitative documentary approach, drawing on official sources, foreign trade statistics, and academic literature, and relying on content analysis to classify the categories of tariff, regulatory, logistical, and cultural barriers, as well as the opportunities arising from the growing demand for artisanal products with cultural identity. The results show that, although cane liquor exports to the United States showed significant increases in 2021 and 2022, they faced setbacks in 2023 due to factors such as high logistics costs, strict regulatory requirements from the FDA and TTB, and the limited capacity of domestic producers to meet international standards. However, 2024 saw a recovery thanks to strategic alliances and market diversification. Among the opportunities identified are the appreciation of premium and artisanal products, the cultural affinity of Latino communities in the US, and the exploitation of bilateral trade agreements. Finally, it became clear that sustainable access for Ecuadorian cane liquor to the US market depends on the formalization of production, regulatory compliance, cultural differentiation, and the consolidation of digital marketing strategies and strategic alliances, elements that will make it possible to overcome structural limitations and strengthen its international competitiveness.

Abstract (Spanish): Este estudio tiene como objetivo general analizar las estrategias de acceso del licor de caña ecuatoriano al mercado de Estados Unidos en el período 2020-2024, identificando las principales barreras y oportunidades comerciales que inciden en su posicionamiento internacional. La investigación se desarrolló bajo un paradigma cualitativo de tipo documental, utilizando fuentes oficiales, estadísticas de comercio exterior y literatura académica, apoyándose en la técnica de análisis de contenido para clasificar las categorías de barreras arancelarias, normativas, logísticas y culturales, así como las oportunidades derivadas de la creciente demanda de productos artesanales y con identidad cultural. Los resultados evidencian que, si bien las exportaciones de licor de caña a Estados Unidos mostraron incrementos significativos en 2021 y 2022, estas enfrentaron retrocesos en 2023 debido a factores como altos costos logísticos, exigencias regulatorias estrictas de la FDA y el TTB, y la limitada capacidad de los productores nacionales para cumplir con estándares internacionales. No obstante, el 2024 reflejó una recuperación gracias a alianzas estratégicas y la diversificación de mercados. Entre las oportunidades identificadas destacan la valorización de productos premium y artesanales, la afinidad cultural de comunidades latinas en EE.UU., y el aprovechamiento de tratados comerciales bilaterales. Finalmente, se evidencio que el acceso sostenible del licor de caña ecuatoriano al mercado estadounidense depende de la formalización de la producción, el cumplimiento normativo, la diferenciación cultural y la consolidación de estrategias de marketing digital y alianzas estratégicas, elementos que permitirán superar las limitaciones estructurales y fortalecer su competitividad internacional.
