For the collection of information, surveys were used for both the quinoa producers of the canton and the workers of the company and an interview with the General Manager of the same; then, it was determined that the producers in the area are in a position to market their product to the Tierras Altas company. The viability and profitability of the project were established within the financial study, determining fixed assets, deferred assets, working capital and financing, where the most appropriate capital structure was established, to later project the income statement and flows, achieving an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 35%, Net Present Value (NPV): $ 286,690.47, the recovery time of the investment is 2 years, 2 months. The study concludes by determining the importance of knowing the import processes, since the optimization of time and resources is accomplished; therefore, it is recommended that the company execute the project under the established conditions and parameters since the import of technologies helps to encourage the national production.
