Estudio de factibilidad para la implementación de una microempresa de incubación de huevos criollos y comercialización de pollitos en el cantón Morona, provincia de Morona Santiago.

Abstract

The objective of this work was to develop a technical project on a feasibility study for the implementation of a microenterprise for the incubation of Creole eggs in the canton of Morona, province of Morona Santiago. The deductive-inductive method was used, which starts from the general to a deeper breakdown of information using a quantitative and qualitative approach, and a descriptive, analytical and documentary review type of research. Observation and documentary record were used for the conformation of the theoretical framework and obtaining a conclusion to the problem to be solved. Finally, surveys were applied to the population or sample and traders of Creole chicks existing in the canton. As a useful instrument was established a questionnaire of open-ended questions directed to the population and another to traders to continue with the tabulation of data. Through the calculations with data from the population, the sample to be surveyed was established, which was 393 people. The results show that 72% of the population was established as possible consumers. The initial investment of the project is around 8,540.52 dollars, being the working capital around 1,906.52 dollars, and the initial fixed investment is 6,634.00 dollars. The net present value was 2,182.19 dollars, and the internal rate of return was 26%. The project can produce around 17,730 chicks in its first year, covering about 4.2% of the current unsatisfied demand. Concluding that the benefit-cost ratio is that for every dollar invested in production, the profit is 0.37 cents, demonstrating profitability. It is recommended that some research should be carried out to determine a management system for Creole chickens, since it is part of the complementary activities for the families of the canton according to the sample.
