Introducción: La agroindustria azucarera constituyó históricamente un eje principal de la economía cubana, y su reconversión hacia un modelo sostenible demandó sistemas de indicadores capaces de integrar las dimensiones productiva, económica, social, ambiental y tecnológica de la cadena de valor. El objetivo fue caracterizar el sistema de indicadores clave de la cadena de valor agroindustrial azucarera cubana, mediante un análisis de contenido por proceso clave y por dimensión de desempeño y sostenibilidad. Metodología: Se aplicó un enfoque mixto, de tipo descriptivo-analítico, mediante análisis documental y de contenido sobre la matriz de indicadores institucional, con un esquema de codificación en siete dimensiones de desempeño y sostenibilidad. Resultados: Los resultados evidenciaron 124 relaciones de indicadores, concentradas en las dimensiones de producción y capacidad (23,4 %), recursos físicos e insumos (19,4 %), frente a una baja representación de las dimensiones económica-financiera (8,1 %) y de innovación y tecnología (3,2 %), esta última sin indicadores cuantitativos explícitos en los procesos de apoyo. La comparación con la literatura mostró un contraste: mayor peso de lo ambiental y la digitalización en la literatura internacional. Conclusiones: Se concluyó que el sistema de indicadores requiere un rebalanceo hacia la sostenibilidad ambiental y la innovación para alinearse con marcos recientes de medición del desempeño de cadenas de valor agroindustriales.
