Comportamiento agronómico y productivo de la línea promisoria de arroz (Oryza sp.) L-17 cultivada en la zona de Pimocha, Provincia Los Ríos
No full textRice (Oryza sativa L.) is the main food of inhabitants in developing countries and is the second most consumed cereal in the world. Its global demand increases due to population growth and consumption models in different regions. Rice is one of the most important crops for Ecuador, generating a significant contribution to the economy, in addition to contributing to and guaranteeing the food security of the population and generating thousands of direct and indirect jobs throughout the production chain. The progress of the sector in productivity issues during the last decades has been slow. This project aims to determine the agronomic and productive behavior of the promising L-17 rice line cultivated in the Pimocha area, province of Los Ríos. In this research, a methodology was carried out, with a non-parametric statistical design with the use of Tukey analysis including comparisons of means. For the analysis, three repetitions will be considered (three samplings with areas of 4 m² taken in one hectare of crop) and two cultivars (L-17 and SFL-11). The technique used to evaluate the plots was direct counting of individuals, tillers, panicles, grains, the distance between plant and row and estimation of yield, two treatments were used. Regarding the results, the promising line L-17 showed a greater number of panicles, which reached a value of 21.68, compared to the SFL-11 variety, which obtained a lower number of panicles 19.27. Line L-17 had a higher percentage (6.04%) of wasted grain, compared to the commercial line, SFL-11, which had a lower amount of wasted grain (5.5%). It is found that the promising line L-17 has a distance of 36 cm from the commercial SFL 11 of 34.6 cm, which results in the smaller the distance, the greater the number of plants. Although there are similarities in the agronomic characteristics of the SFL-11 line and the promising L-37 line, it is the latter that really shines in terms of performance and creates an impressive range of 6.5 to 7 tons per year. In conclusion, the promising line L-17 is distinguished from the commercial line SFL 11 by having a high significance of difference, both in character, yield and production cost, which makes it a promising line for farmers.Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the main food of inhabitants in developing countries and is the second most consumed cereal in the world.

Impacto de la elasticidad precio-demanda en la rentabilidad de la asociación de Productores Agrícola 6 de octubre Asoprogroc del cantón Vinces en el periodo 2023.
Get PDFThe study analyzes the impact of price-demand elasticity on the profitability of the Agricultural Production Association 6 de Octubre (ASOPROAGROC) in the Vinces canton during 2023. The research reveals that the price-demand elasticity of the association's products is 1.4, which indicates that they are elastic. This means that consumers are highly sensitive to price variations, affecting the competitiveness and sustainability of the company in the market. The analysis shows that the lack of pricing strategies has led to deficiencies in profitability and demand management. If prices increase without a proper strategy, demand will decrease, negatively affecting revenue. On the other hand, reducing prices without optimizing costs is also not sustainable in the long term. To improve its competitiveness, ASOPROAGROC must implement differentiated pricing strategies based on market studies, optimize its production costs and diversify its offer with differentiated products. Customer loyalty and quality certification can reduce the elasticity of demand and generate financial stability. The study concludes that the company should avoid depending solely on price adjustments to improve its profitability. It is recommended to carry out periodic elasticity analyzes, improve operational efficiency and develop a commercial strategy based on differentiation and added value. These actions will allow ASOPROAGROC to achieve greater stability in its market and improve its long-term financial sustainability.The study analyzes the impact of price-demand elasticity on the profitability of the Agricultural Production Association 6 de Octubre (ASOPROAGROC) in the Vinces canton during 2023. The research reveals that the price-demand elasticity of the association's products is 1.4, which indicates that they are elastic. This means that consumers are highly sensitive to price variations, affecting the competitiveness and sustainability of the company in the market. The analysis shows that the lack of pricing strategies has led to deficiencies in profitability and demand management. If prices increase without a proper strategy, demand will decrease, negatively affecting revenue. On the other hand, reducing prices without optimizing costs is also not sustainable in the long term. To improve its competitiveness, ASOPROAGROC must implement differentiated pricing strategies based on market studies, optimize its production costs and diversify its offer with differentiated products. Customer loyalty and quality certification can reduce the elasticity of demand and generate financial stability.

La investigación revela que la elasticidad precio-demanda de los productos de la asociación es de 1.4, lo que indica que son elásticos. Esto significa que los consumidores son altamente sensibles a las variaciones de precio, afectando la competitividad y sostenibilidad de la empresa en el mercado. El análisis muestra que la falta de estrategias de fijación de precios ha generado deficiencias en la rentabilidad y la gestión de la demanda. Si los precios aumentan sin una estrategia adecuada, la demanda disminuirá, afectando negativamente los ingresos. Por otro lado, reducir precios sin optimizar costos tampoco es sostenible a largo plazo. Para mejorar su competitividad, ASOPROAGROC debe implementar estrategias de precios diferenciados basados en estudios de mercado, optimizar sus costos de producción y diversificar su oferta con productos diferenciados. La fidelización de clientes y la certificación de calidad pueden reducir la elasticidad de la demanda y generar estabilidad financiera. El estudio concluye que la empresa debe evitar depender únicamente de ajustes de precios para mejorar su rentabilidad. Se recomienda realizar análisis periódicos de elasticidad, mejorar la eficiencia operativa y desarrollar una estrategia comercial basada en diferenciación y valor agregado. Estas acciones permitirán que ASOPROAGROC logre una mayor estabilidad en su mercado y mejore su sostenibilidad financiera a largo plazo

Get PDFThis study addresses the problem of accounts payable management in Constructora Consocilor SA, located in Babahoyo, province of Los Ríos, during the period 2023. The company faces challenges related to payment prioritization, poor financial planning, and limited cash availability, which compromises its operational and financial stability. This context generates additional costs due to late interest and makes it difficult to take advantage of strategic opportunities. The research used a mixed approach integrating qualitative and quantitative methods. A non-experimental and cross-sectional design was applied, analyzing the financial statements using key indicators such as the debt ratio and the current liquidity ratio. Semi-structured interviews were also conducted with accounting staff to complement the interpretation of the data. Among the main findings, it was identified that accounts payable represent 79.7% of current liabilities, while free cash flow only covers 2% of these obligations, evidencing significant financial pressure in the short term. However, the solvency ratio (3.38) and low financial leverage (0.42) reflect a solid financial structure and low dependence on external financing. Despite this, high operating costs limit net profitability, which stands at 9.3%. In conclusion, it is necessary to implement strategies to optimize accounts payable management, improve cash flow and reduce operating costs. These actions are essential to ensure the financial sustainability and competitiveness of the company in a dynamic environment.This study addresses the problem of accounts payable management in Constructora Consocilor SA, located in Babahoyo, province of Los Ríos, during the period 2023.
