Resumen
El objetivo de la investigación fue determinar la prefactibilidad de la producción de limón
mesino (Citrus aurantifolia) en la zona de Acosta, así como su comercialización en el
Centro Nacional de Abastecimiento y Distribución de Alimentos (CENADA), ubicado en
Barreal de Heredia, Costa Rica. Este estudio se desarrolló entre marzo y junio de 2013,
periodo durante el cual se determinó la viabilidad comercial, técnica, ambiental, legal y
financiera del cultivo, tomando como escenario de producción una plantación de 3
hectáreas. Mediante el estudio de mercado se logró determinar que el producto tiene
potencial de comercialización en el CENADA; con el estudio técnico se concluyó que la
zona de ubicación del proyecto, en Acosta, es apta para desarrollar la actividad debido a
que las condiciones agroclimáticas son las óptimas para el cultivo; el estudio ambiental
reflejó la importancia de aplicar buenas prácticas agrícolas a través de las etapas de
producción, de manera que se logre un mínimo impacto negativo al ambiente, además de
maximizar los beneficios ecológicos potenciales. A través del estudio financiero se logró
determinar que el proyecto es factible, al presentar una TIR del 24,26% y un VAN de
₡142.852.045.
The objective of the present research was to determine the feasibility of producing Mesino lemon (Citrus aurantifolia) in the Acosta zone, and its commercialization in the National Center for Food Supply and Distribution (CENADA) located in Barreal de Heredia. In this regard, a study to determine the commercial, technical, environmental, legal and financial viability of the crop was conducted between March and June 2013, taking a 3 hectares plantation as the stage of production. Through market research it was determined that the product has a potential marketing, essentially in CENADA; also thanks to the technical study, it was concluded that the location of the project area (Acosta) is suitable for the activity because the growing conditions are compatible with the cultivation; the environmental study reflected the importance of applying good agricultural practices through all stages of production, so that a minimal negative impact on the environment is achieved, as well as maximizing the potential ecological benefits; finally through the financial analysis it was determined that the project is feasible, introducing an IRR of 24,26% and an NPV of ₡142.852.045.
