Resumen
La presente tesis aborda el problema de la limitada diversificación económica en las
comunidades rurales de Cajamarca. A pesar de poseer extensas plantaciones de pino, estas
comunidades no utilizan de forma óptima los recursos forestales disponibles, como el hongo
comestible Suillus luteus. Esta falta de aprovechamiento restringe significativamente sus
posibilidades de alcanzar un desarrollo económico sostenible, limitando sus ingresos a niveles de
mera subsistencia. Para abordar esta problemática, se diseñó una solución basada en la creación
de una cadena de valor específica para el hongo comestible Suillus Luteus. Dicha cadena de
valor se enfoca en una producción sostenible y en la exportación de este hongo comestible hacia
el mercado alemán. El proceso de diseño siguió la metodología de innovación centrada en el
usuario, utilizando herramientas de Design Thinking como la investigación de mercado, la
identificación de necesidades, la elaboración de la propuesta de valor, y el diseño de un producto
mínimo viable (PMV) en su formato deshidratado.
Se validaron diversas hipótesis para demostrar que el proyecto es deseable, factible,
viable y sostenible. La validación de la deseabilidad se basó en encuestas y entrevistas a
potenciales consumidores alemanes, donde se identificó un interés creciente por alimentos
naturales y sostenibles. La factibilidad se probó a través del diseño de un plan de operaciones
eficiente y sostenible, que garantiza la calidad y trazabilidad del producto. La viabilidad
financiera fue comprobada con la proyección de un VAN de $ 982,828.73 y una TIR de 307% en
un horizonte de cinco años. Asimismo, la sostenibilidad del proyecto se demostró al evidenciar
su contribución al desarrollo socioeconómico de las comunidades rurales y a la conservación de
los ecosistemas forestales.
En consecuencia, la solución propuesta se considera deseable, factible, viable y
sostenible, lo que justifica su implementación a través del proyecto denominado Luteus Life. La
fase inicial de este proyecto se centrará en la exportación de hongos deshidratados con destino a
Alemania. Se espera que Luteus Life siente las bases para una futura expansión hacia la creación
de nuevos productos derivados y la exploración de otros mercados europeos.
This thesis addresses the issue of limited economic diversification in the rural communities of Cajamarca, Peru. Despite having extensive pine plantations, these communities do not fully utilize their available forest resources, such as the edible mushroom Suillus luteus. This underutilization significantly restricts their potential for sustainable economic development, keeping their income at subsistence levels. To address this issue, a solution was designed based on the creation of a specific value chain for Suillus luteus. This value chain focuses on sustainable production and the export of this edible mushroom to the German market. The design process followed a user-centered innovation methodology, using Design Thinking tools such as market research, needs identification, value proposition development, and the creation of a minimum viable product (MVP) in its dehydrated form. Several hypotheses were validated to demonstrate that the project is desirable, feasible, viable, and sustainable. Desirability was validated through surveys and interviews with potential German consumers, which revealed a growing interest in natural and sustainable foods. Feasibility was proven through the design of an efficient and sustainable operations plan that ensures product quality and traceability. Financial viability was supported by a projected Net Present Value (NPV) of $ 982,828.73 and an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 307% over five years. Furthermore, the project’s sustainability was demonstrated through its contribution to the socioeconomic development of rural communities and the conservation of forest ecosystems. As a result, the proposed solution is considered desirable, feasible, viable, and sustainable, which supports its implementation through the project named Luteus Life. The initial phase of this project will focus on exporting dehydrated mushrooms to Germany, with the expectation that Luteus Life will lay the foundation for future expansion into new derived products and the exploration of other European markets.
