The main objective of this research was to “analyze the commercial activity of ornamental plants in nurseries in the city of Loja”, for which the specific objectives were: “to diagnose the value chain of the commercialization of ornamental plants” and “to identify the main market segments that demand ornamental plants”. The research used a mixed approach combining qualitative and quantitative methods and the type of design was transversal.
