Estudio de factibilidad para la creación de un centro de acopio y piladora de arroz en el cantón Rocafuerte, provincia de Manabí.

Abstract

The main purpose of the present degree project is the creation of a rice collection and milling center in the Rocafuerte canton of Manabí province, where the three component studies of the feasibility study were applied, including a market analysis, Consequently, all the supply and demand factors were studied, resulting as such a fairly high supply of the product in certain months of the year, and a fairly low one in the winter season from January to April. The technical feasibility study was also carried out based on bibliographic research and interviews with experts on the subject, such as producers and owners of pile machines. The financial tools used made it possible to analyze and determine the viability of the project, making it feasible to build a storage center and rice mill in the Rocafuerte canton. Techniques such as interviews with experts were also used to help us determine factors such as the seasons with the highest and lowest rice production in the year. The initial investment for this project is adequate, because it will generate a very favorable net present value (NPV) and a positive internal rate of return (IRR), thus having a three-year payback period. Finding, thanks to the studies carried out, a market niche for aged rice in the sierra region of the country, in the same way the environmental study allowed us to show that the implementation of the project did not generate pollution. Finally, the study of the project for the creation of a rice collection and milling center is feasible and viable according to the results obtained in the market, technical, financial, economic and environmental analyzes
