Caracterización socio-productiva del cultivo de Jirón (Sicana odorífera)

The odoriferous sicana, better known as jirón, is a wild fruit native to the country, which is produced on the Ecuadorian coast and is currently little known by consumers. The jirón has high nutritional properties and has been used since pre-Columbian times for the treatment of diseases and recently for culinary functions, mainly the preparation of jams, desserts and others. The present study seeks to carry out a productive characterization of this fruit and give it greater recognition than it currently has. It was carried out a literature review available as secondary information in several academic search engines, as main source of data collection. Finally, it is concluded that the jirón has a great potential for cultivation and production in Ecuador, especially in the province of Los Ríos, due to the climatic and edaphic conditions necessary for its growth and that it can have a great socioeconomic contribution in the farmers who they cultivate it, due to its productive potential and transformation to final product.
