Evaluación económica de la finca guadalupe.

Abstract

In the milk production farm "Guadalupe" located in Penipe canton, belonging to the Chimborazo province, the economic evaluation of the milk production during the year 2017 was conducted. The study focused on the revision of the production records. In order to comply with the proposed objectives, the main indicators of economic return were determined according to an exhaustive analysis of the productive and financial records managed in the dairy farm, to subsequently use these results to set an improvement plan of livestock handling to increase the productivity and economic profitability. Due to the nature of this research, the formulation of an experimental design was not necessary, since the data that made possible to validate the hypotheses came from the revision of the totality of the economic and productive records. As a result, it was determined that fixed and variable costs in milk production showed an increase to values of $ 22,954.22 for the first case and $ 37,705.74 in the second case, giving a total of $ 60,659.96; meanwhile, the incomes were $ 67201.35, which means, a net profit of $ 6541.39 in the evaluation year. This fact, demonstrated that the benefit-cost ratio was $ 1.11 for each dollar invested. To conclude, it is determined that when carrying out the economic evaluation of the "Livestock" farm, the yield reported was minimal compared to conditions of the same type, for this reason, an improvement plan in the livestock management was formulated. This plan was oriented to the increase of the productivity of the livestock farm as well as the increase of its economic return.
