Resumen
La agricultura en Perú es clave para la economía, dominada por pequeños productores
dedicados a la agricultura familiar. Sin embargo, esto limita la competitividad debido a la
restricción de acceso a mercados, agua y sostenibilidad. A pesar de estas limitaciones, el
cultivo de arándanos ha mostrado un crecimiento notable, generando ingresos y empleo en
varias regiones. Este crecimiento subraya el potencial del cultivo en el país, especialmente
con la creciente demanda de arándanos de alta calidad adaptados a las condiciones climáticas.
Un problema social importante es la incapacidad de las pequeñas y medianas
empresas agrícolas para competir con grandes corporaciones. Esto se debe a la baja
rentabilidad, la limitada extensión de tierras y el acceso restringido a mercados y recursos
hídricos. El mal manejo de los recursos naturales, como la desertificación y deforestación,
empeora estas condiciones. Según la FAO, el 70% del agua mundial se utiliza en la
agricultura, y en los países más desarrollados, esta cifra puede alcanzar hasta el 95%. Esto
resalta la urgente necesidad de mejorar la eficiencia en el uso del agua (FAO, 2019).
En este contexto, el proyecto "Berries Sostenibles" ofrece una solución alineada con
los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS), específicamente el ODS 8 y ODS 13. Consiste
en producir plantines de arándanos mejorados, resistentes al estrés hídrico, con certificación
de huella hídrica y asesoramiento en sostenibilidad. Este proyecto utiliza un vivero de última
tecnología y promueve prácticas agrícolas sostenibles. El objetivo es mejorar la
competitividad de los pequeños y medianos productores, incrementando sus ingresos. El
proyecto tiene un Valor Actual de $8,645,514, con una inversión inicial de $1,421,657.44,
generando un Valor Actual Neto de $7,223,856.68 y una TIR del 81.44%, lo que indica alta
rentabilidad.
Agriculture in Peru is a key sector for the economy, dominated by small producers engaged in family farming. However, this limits competitiveness due to restricted access to markets, water, and sustainability. Despite these limitations, blueberry cultivation has shown notable growth, generating income and employment in several regions. This growth highlights the potential of this crop in the country, especially with the increasing demand for high-quality blueberries adapted to local climatic conditions. A significant social issue is the inability of small and medium-sized agricultural enterprises to compete with large corporations. This is due to low profitability, limited land area, and restricted access to markets and water resources. The poor management of natural resources, such as desertification and deforestation, worsens these conditions. According to the FAO, 70% of global water is used in agriculture, and in more developed countries, this figure can reach up to 95%. This emphasises the urgent need to improve water use efficiency (FAO, 2019). In this context, the "Berries Sostenibles" project offers a solution aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically SDG 8 and SDG 13. The project involves the production of improved blueberry plants, resistant to water stress, with a water footprint certification and sustainability guidance. This project uses state-of-the-art nurseries and promotes sustainable agricultural practices. The goal is to improve the competitiveness of small and medium producers, increasing their income. The project has a Present Value (PV) of $8,645,514, with an initial investment of $1,421,657.44, generating a Net Present Value (NPV) of $7,223,856.68 and an IRR of 81.44%, indicating high profitability.
