Condiciones de mercado para la demanda nacional del Sacha Inchi en Ecuador

Abstract

One of the problems that the Latin American market faces is the scarcity of resources. The present research aims to analyze the conditions presented by the market for vegetable oil from oleaginous seeds, such as Sacha Inchi, as an alternative product to African palm oil. The methodology used is based on a quantitative approach with descriptive scopes, using a matrix of calculation of the dynamics of opening, closing and survival of companies, to verify which of the variables such as: Turbulence, gross entry, gross exit and net entry, incur as market conditions for the national demand for Sacha Inchi. The analysis of the sectoral dynamics makes it possible to measure levels of incursion of new companies into the seed agricultural sector, motivating microentrepreneurs to adhere to sacha inchi to their production. It is concluded that in the canton La Concordia 62.46% of companies enter the sector during the last 10 years with an average life of 8 years, being an attractive sector to introduce the seed of sacha inchi for the production of vegetable oil. Which would represent an alternative resource for the canton's main activity, such as the production and sowing of African palm.
