Abstract

The present study is of a descriptive and exploratory type, since it seeks to describe the decrease or rejection of the banana generated during the period 2015 - 2021, with the present work it is intended to analyze the decrease generated in the Buena Fe canton and to what is due the non-use of the same for the elaboration of products based on rejection, in order to promote the generation of employment, since the banana is a great source of proteins and vitamins, essential in the diet of people of any age. Because at least one 5% of its production in the field and 5% of the fruit in the packinghouse is discarded for not meeting the quality parameters for export fruit, this being considered a loss at the end of the year. For this, bibliographical compilations were made on the state of banana production in the canton and research related to the current state of banana producers (spot market - contract) and their production flowchart. In addition, descriptive research was used as a tool, through surveys to identify why the decline of the banana fruit is not used for food production, such as compote, jam and flour. Once it was made known why the waste was not used, a model was designed that allows the gad of the canton to generate employment through the use of said waste.
