Abstract

The present research project called "Project for the creation of a dry grains processing plant in the Parish of Cajabamba, Canton Colta, period 2022 - 2026" was undertaken due to the lack of appropriate milling service, causing losses in the agricultural sector and therefore generating an unsatisfied need in the producers. Therefore, its objective was to elaborate a feasibility study for the creation of a processing plant of dry grains through the effectiveness of processes in the Parish of Cajabamba, Canton Colta, period 2022 - 2026. The methodology implemented was exploratory, descriptive, documentary and field, in order to obtain relevant information through techniques and instruments, among which were the direct observation and the survey directed to the dry grains producers of the sector. Through the proposed methodology, it has been determined that the target market is 9,498; therefore, it has been considered to offer a service with a production capacity of 21,600 quintals per year, with an installed capacity of 75% in the first year, which will increase proportionally by 5% annually until the fifth year, as well as technical, administrative and financial studies were carried out. The NPV indicator has shown a value of 12,109.15, it also shows a yield of 17%, the Cost Benefit ratio was 1.21, which means that the designer will obtain profits of $ 0.21 over the total costs and the initial investment will be recovered in 3 years, 4 months and 24 days. In short, it is concluded that the implementation of the dry grains processing plant in the parish of Cajabamba Canton Colta will benefit both the designer having an expected return, as well as the inhabitants of the sector avoiding damage to their products and contributing to economic development.
