Evaluación de la rentabilidad en la producción de banano orgánico vs convencional dentro del periodo 2015 - 2020 en la provincia de El Oro, Ecuador.

Abstract

Conventional banana production is very traditional in Ecuadorian agriculture, either because of the costs incurred in this, in the case of organic banana is an alternative that is not well known with respect to costs that can be generated within its production, but that guarantees more natural banana cultivation without chemical intervention. The present research aims to evaluate the profitability of organic banana production vs. conventional banana production in a period from 2015 to 2020 in the province of El Oro, Ecuador. In this case, the viability study for both projects was conducted over a period of 6 years, where the capital budget is used, together with financial indicators to analyze whether it is appropriate to invest in conventional banana production versus organic banana production. To know the initial investment of this work, the initial amount is needed, which will be exposed in the results of this research in order to obtain the figures of the financial indicators such as NPV which is translated to net present value and IRR which is translated to the internal rate of return, it is intended to know which is more profitable according to the data recorded in the farms that participate in this work
