Estudio de factibilidad para el desarrollo agroindustrial del rechazo de banano en la provincia de El Oro.

Abstract

The present study is descriptive and seeks to analyze the feasibility of agroindustry development of banana rejection, from banana producers in the province of El Oro – Ecuador, as an alternative to improve their income, because at least 5% of its production in the field and 5% of the fruit in the packing plant is discarded because it does not comply with the quality parameters of export fruit, this being considered as a loss at the end of the year. To this end, bibliographic compilations were made on the current status of banana production in El Oro and research related to the current status of banana producers (spot market - contract) and its production flowchart. In addition, descriptive research was used as a tool, through surveys seeking to identify at the possible consumers of the product derived from "dehydrated" banana in order to develop a market study resulting in a 79.09% of acceptance. All this information allowed us to prepare a financial study to establish the feasibility of the project. The results obtained indicated that the project has an IRR of 46.42%, an NPV of USD 75,177.65, which makes it attractive, realistic and with good growth projections.
