Formulación de plan de mejoramiento para la producción y comercialización de papa Diacol Capiro orgánica, en la finca agrícola Guadalupe localizada en el corregimiento de Gualmatán, Municipio de Pasto

Abstract

The objective of this document is "Desarrollar estudio de mejoramiento para la producción y comercialización de papa orgánica, como parte de la oferta de productos agrícolas de la finca agrícola Guadalupe localizada en el corregimiento de Gualmatán, municipio de Pasto." The methodology used to develop this study is descriptive and qualitative-quantitative. In the same way, the research method is analysis complemented with participant observation periods. This is because the research is carried out with the participation of the collaborators and owners of the Guadalupe agricultural farm. Considering the impact that the production process currently developed has on health, the company has considered carrying out a plan to improve the production process, for which an emphasis was placed on the production of Diacol Capiro potato grown with inputs organic. By identifying the main problems that arise in the environment, as well as in the health of employees with the use of chemical inputs in potato production, the relevant critical variables that can be improved were determined and the costs of the crop were calculated of potato grown with chemical inputs and organic inputs. An economic evaluation of the project was carried out based on the cost-benefit ratio, where it was shown that cultivation with chemical inputs is more profitable than cultivation with organic inputs. But, in turn, the socio-environmental advantages and benefits are greater and overshadow the greater economic returns of the crop with chemical inputs. In the same way, according to Montesdeoca (2005) cited by Espinoza (2015) the use of organic inputs maintains the properties of the land, especially in terms of PH and fertilization of the land. This means that the use of organic inputs allows the formation of sustainable crops.
