SOCIO ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF THE PRODUCTION AND COMMERCIALIZATION OF THE PASAFLORA LIGULARIS JUSS IN OXAPAMPA

Abstract

Due to the awareness of the most pressing needs of the inhabitants of the annexes that  make up the districts and province of Oxapampa, appropriate actions are proposed to carry out through this project to support the socioeconomic development of the organizations and cultures within these communal economies and populations. As compared to the profitability of products that are produced in the area such as corn, beans, cassava, bananas, etc, the passionflower gives the native farmer even higher profitability, up to 10 times more compared to traditional crops. In addition, production is extremely rapid compared to other crops that take 3 to 5 years to start production. The passionflower produces after 9 months of being transplanted and up to 7 years, and the harvest is done every 15 days. The problem of different socioeconomic populations, the low profitability of their crops, encourages then these settlers and natives to improve their income and therefore their socioeconomic status. The project has within its structure a set of basic information on the scope of the project, its potential geographic areas, the production process, unit costs, performance, cost, implementation schedule.
The realization and implementation of this project will contribute to generate more revenue to enhance business consolidation and adequate capitalization which will tend to improve the living standards of residents in the central jungle now mired in poverty and extreme poverty. Oxapampa Chontabamba and Huancabamba were visited yielding very interesting data for the project.
