Resumen
El alto consumo de alimentos ultraprocesados en Perú ha incrementado las enfermedades
crónicas, con siete de cada 10 peruanos con sobrepeso. En Lima Metropolitana, la oferta de
alimentos saludables y accesibles es escasa, afectando a jóvenes y adultos con estilos de vida
acelerados. El mercado prioriza productos poco nutritivos, agravando problemas de salud y
aumentando costos sanitarios. La falta de opciones saludables refuerza un consumo insostenible.
Abordar esta brecha representa una oportunidad para mejorar la calidad de vida y reducir la
incidencia de enfermedades crónicas mediante alternativas accesibles y nutritivas. En ese
contexto, se origina RapiSopa como una propuesta de alimentación saludable, accesible,
práctica, con un enfoque sostenible y responsable con el medio ambiente. Tiene como propósito
ingresar al difícil mercado de sopas instantáneas, pero con un aspecto diferenciador resaltante el
cuál es incluir el Tarwi, superalimento andino, como ingrediente principal en la elaboración de
los fideos; como también no considerar incorporar ingredientes críticos (libre de octógonos). El
perfil de usuario para RapiSopa corresponde a jóvenes y adultos entre 18 a 65 años
pertenecientes a la PEA, de niveles socioeconómicos B y C en Lima Metropolitana, que
priorizan alimentos saludables proteicos, pero enfrentan barreras como el costo elevado, tiempo
limitado y dificultad para acceder a otras opciones. Sus principales motivaciones son la salud
familiar, mitigar el sobrepeso y garantizar una dieta variada y nutritiva. Este análisis fundamenta
el desarrollo de RapiSopa como una solución que combina conveniencia, valor nutricional y
accesibilidad. Desde el punto de vista financiero, RapiSopa demuestra una alta viabilidad
económica y rentabilidad, con un modelo de negocio escalable y sostenible. Los análisis
financieros proyectan un VAN positivo y una TIR de 133.45 % lo que evidencia su capacidad de
generar retorno sobre la inversión. La estrategia de producción tercerizada y la optimización de
costos garantiza una estructura financiera eficiente, permitiendo ofrecer un producto accesible
sin comprometer su calidad nutricional.
The high consumption of ultra-processed foods in Peru has increased chronic diseases, with 7 out of 10 Peruvians being overweight. In Metropolitan Lima, the supply of healthy and accessible foods is scarce, affecting young people and adults with fast-paced lifestyles. The market prioritizes products that are not very nutritious, aggravating health problems and increasing health costs. The lack of healthy options reinforces unsustainable consumption. Addressing this gap represents an opportunity to improve quality of life and reduce the incidence of chronic diseases through accessible and nutritious alternatives. In this context, RapiSopa was created as a proposal for healthy, accessible and practical food, with a sustainable and environmentally responsible approach. Its purpose is to enter the difficult market of instant soups, but with an outstanding differentiating aspect which is to include Tarwi, an Andean superfood, as the main ingredient in the preparation of the noodles; as well as not considering the incorporation of critical ingredients (free of octogons). The user profile for RapiSopa corresponds to young people and adults between 18 and 65 years of age belonging to the EAP, from socioeconomic levels B and C in Metropolitan Lima, who prioritize healthy protein foods, but face barriers such as high cost, limited time and difficulty in accessing other options. Their main motivations are family health, mitigating overweight and ensuring a varied and nutritious diet. This analysis underpins the development of RapiSopa as a solution that combines convenience, nutritional value and accessibility. From a financial point of view, RapiSopa demonstrates high economic viability and profitability, with a scalable and sustainable business model. Financial analysis projects a positive NPV and an IRR of 133.45 %, demonstrating its ability to generate a return on investment. The outsourced production strategy and cost optimization guarantee an efficient financial structure, allowing the company to offer an accessible product without compromising its nutritional quality.
