Evaluación económica de la producción del banano orgánico de la zona rural del Cantón El Guabo, en la provincia de El Oro.

Abstract

The objective of this research was to evaluate economically the production of organic bananas for export in Canton El Guabo, Provincia del Oro, 2018, with the purpose of generating technological alternatives that improve their competitiveness in the international market, for which a qualitative analytical research with a non-experimental design based on the deductive, inductive, synthetic, analytical and systematic methods with a quantitative approach and a descriptive scope, considering Asoguabo as a study population. According to the data obtained through evaluation criteria economic situation, a net present value (NPV) of USD18.1 million could be determined, representing in monetary value that producing organic bananas is viable and profitable - an internal rate of return (IRR of 26%, which represents in percentage terms the feasibility of said study, and a benefit-cost ratio (B / C) of 1.66 represent that the income generated cover all costs incurred during the project and also generates a profit margin. Finally, when carrying out the analysis of the productive process of the sector, it was possible to identify that the greatest economic effort is oriented towards phytosanitary control, specifically to control Black Sigatoka, which represents 16.34% of the total variable cost. Given the above, the present study shows as an alternative, for the control of the Sigatoca, the use of ozone to generate a violation of the crop before the mentioned disease, reducing by 40% the total variable costs and generating a saving of $ 384.42 ha / year while the total costs of the organic banana production process will be reduced by approximately 60%. Based on the foregoing, it is concluded that, when using the proposed proposal, the sector under study is more profitable, increasing its IRR to 29% and increasing its NPV by $ 18,781,304.72 USD.
