Costos de instalación y mantenimiento de un vivero de cacao (Theobroma cacao) CCN-51 en la zona de Babahoyo”

The cultivation of cocoa, (Theobroma cacao L) is of great importance within the Ecuadorian economy, as it is an export product and raw material for local industries. In Ecuador the two varieties of cocoa that are produced are Nacional (fine aroma) and CCN-51 (current). This topic was selected on the basis that the economy of the province of Los Ríos is mainly of agricultural origin, therefore in the Chilintomo Sector there are various crops, among which the one of cocoa is mentioned, which is one of the most frequent in this rural area of the Babahoyo canton. Internally of the actions linked to the use of the cocoa crop (Theobroma cacao), in the area the nurseries have a transcendental importance, since it is the starting point to achieve success later, this applies to any variety of crop. Later in the course of the investigation for this practical study, a tour of the small cocoa plantations owned by the farmers who collaborated with the execution of this exploration was carried out, where a talk could be established with them and they exposed their points of In addition to the different concerns or doubts that they had regarding the topic discussed, it should be noted that this part of the research process took us several weeks for reasons of not interfering in the work of the participating farmers. It was concluded that the majority of farmers dedicated to the production of cocoa in the town of Chilintomo, do not have nurseries and are unaware of the benefits of owning one for their plantations; In this cocoa area of the Babahoyo canton, certain areas are improvised as nurseries in which farmers sometimes result in more losses than gains. Therefore, it is recommended to instruct farmers on specific topics on the production of cocoa plants in nurseries and the processes carried out in them, as well as giving them specific indications for the transplanting process.
