ENCALADA-SANMARTIN, Cristhian Andrés e GARCIA-HEVIA, Segress. Economic-Technical Evaluation of Banana Pulp Processing Plant in El Oro Province, Ecuador. Rev Cie Téc Agr [online]. 2021, vol.30, n.4 Epub 01-Dez-2021. ISSN 2071-0054.
The objective of this study is to carry out an economic evaluation on the implementation of a pulp processing plant, as a sustainable alternative for the San Martín Cuenca (INSANC) company in the Las Cañas sector in Machala. The primary information was collected through the bibliographic review available on the pulp production process, based on an economic profitability analysis. For this, observation and interview techniques were used. For the economic evaluation, the costs that will affect the implementation of a banana pulp processing plant in the study area were determined. As main results, it was obtained that the main activities for the process of obtaining frozen pulp are reception and selection of the fruit, peeling and chopping, pulping, pasteurization, packaging, sealing and labeling and cold storage. Total variable costs are more than double the value of fixed costs, resulting in a total cost of production of $ 562,519.56. The frozen banana pulp production process for the INSANC enterprise has a profitability of 24.38%, with a value of the cost / weight indicator of 0.80 USD.
