Resumen
El uso de fertilizantes químicos en la agricultura intensiva y la deficiente gestión de
residuos orgánicos representan problemáticas urgentes en el ámbito agroproductivo peruano.
Estas prácticas degradan la calidad de los suelos agrícolas, también generan impactos
ambientales y sociales negativos, especialmente en regiones productoras del sur del Perú. En
este contexto, se identificó como problema relevante la falta de soluciones sostenibles que
permitan valorizar los residuos orgánicos, mejorar la productividad agrícola y cumplir con
estándares de producción limpia.
En respuesta, la presente tesis propone un modelo de negocio orientado a la
sostenibilidad, cuyo eje central es la elaboración y comercialización de humus orgánico
enriquecido con bacterias del género Rhizobium, obtenido a través de procesos de
compostaje y vermicultura. Este fertilizante bioactivado favorece la regeneración del suelo,
reduce la utilización de insumos químicos y contribuye al cumplimiento de certificaciones
agrícolas exigidas para exportación. El producto es distribuido en presentaciones de 20 kg y
40 kg, dirigido principalmente a agricultores pequeños, medianos y empresas
agroexportadoras. El proyecto contribuye directamente al logro del ODS 2: Hambre Cero,
ODS 12: Producción y Consumo Responsable, y ODS 15: Vida de Ecosistemas Terrestres.
En cuanto a los resultados, se desarrolló un producto mínimo viable (PMV) que
permitió validar la deseabilidad y efectividad del humus orgánico en cultivos de quinua,
mostrando mejores resultados frente al tratamiento testigo. A nivel financiero las
proyecciones a cinco años reflejan indicadores sólidos: un VAN Financiero de
$1,371,443.14, una TIR de 168.21% y un VAN Social de $1,365,894.30. Estos resultados
reafirman la viabilidad del proyecto desde una perspectiva económica y social, consolidando
su potencial como una alternativa real y efectiva para promover una agricultura más
sostenible y alineada con las nuevas exigencias del consumidor saludable.
The excessive use of chemical fertilizers in intensive agriculture and the poor management of organic waste pose urgent challenges within the Peruvian agricultural sector. These practices degrade soil quality and generate negative environmental and social impacts, particularly in key production regions in southern Peru. Within this context, a critical issue has been identified: the lack of sustainable solutions that enable the valorization of organic waste, improve agricultural productivity, and meet clean production standards. In response, this thesis presents a sustainability-oriented business model focused on the production and commercialization of organic humus enriched with Rhizobium bacteria, obtained through composting and vermiculture processes. This bio-activated fertilizer enhances soil regeneration, reduces reliance on chemical inputs, and supports compliance with export-oriented agricultural certifications. The product is offered in 20 kg and 40 kg formats and is primarily targeted at small and medium-scale farmers as well as agroexporting companies. The initiative contributes directly to the achievement of SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), and SDG 15 (Life on Land). Regarding outcomes, a minimum viable product (MVP) was developed to validate the desirability and effectiveness of organic humus in quinoa crops, showing superior results compared to the untreated control. Financial projections over a five-year horizon indicate robust indicators: a financial Net Present Value (NPV) of $1,371,443.14, an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 168.21%, and a social NPV of $1,365,894.30. These findings confirm the project's viability from both economic and social perspectives, establishing it as a practical and impactful alternative to promote sustainable agriculture in line with the evolving expectations of health-conscious consumers.
