Proyecto de implementación de una planta almacenera de maíz amarillo duro de los pequeños productores del cantón Ventanas para exportación hacia el mercado colombiano

Abstract

The present investigation is about a dent corn storage facility implementation for the small enterprises belonging to Ventanas Canton so that it can be exported to the Colombian Market. The product drying, classifying, storing and marketing will be carried at there in order that people living in this sector improve their lives. Besides, intermediaries will be eliminated, that is, low compensation, weight, humidity and impurities. This project has been developed since Ecuador is self-sufficient in dent corn. Therefore, it will no longer be imported. On the contrary, new markets for its positioning are being searched. FECOC “S.A” will market its products in Guayaquil, Manabi and Quito to balanced animal food processing facilities and provide to the following enterprises: PRONACA and AFABA. Colombian market was chosen for this investigation as dent corn from Ecuador has the following features: freshness, quality, industrial yield, close availability and low financial expenses when shipping. It will be addressed to the Bogota department since most of its industries get down to elaborating dent corn-based balanced animal food which is not often eaten by people. The Enterprise will produce 12038,4 Tm of corn yearly.
