Resumen
El tema de este trabajo de tesis de investigación se denomina “ANÁLISIS SOCIO-ECONÓMICO DE LA INDUSTRIA Y MERCADO NACIONAL DE LA FIBRA DE COCO EN EL ECUADOR EN EL PERIODO 2012 AL 2014 Y SUS OPORTUNIDADES EN MERCADOS INTERNACIONALES”.
La fibra de coco, es un producto que se obtiene de la cáscara de esa fruta luego de un proceso de extracción mediante máquinas diseñadas especialmente para esa actividad. La fibra obtenida puede ser da varios tipos dependiendo de ciertas propiedades del coco trabajado y de las condiciones a las que se expuso la corteza antes de este proceso.
Una vez obtenida, la fibra de coco puede ser utilizada como materia prima para elaborar diferentes tipos de productos o ser usado en la agricultura directamente como sustrato.
Conociendo esto, se determina que en el Ecuador, la fibra de coco no es explotada al menos a gran escala sino que, la cáscara de coco (de donde proviene), es considerada un desecho y se lo trata como tal, con lo cual va a parar a los grandes botaderos de basura en las diferentes ciudades del país.
Los grandes productores de fibra están ubicados mayormente en Asia y en menor escala en Latinoamérica específicamente México. Por otra parte, existe un gran potencial de exportación debido a que grandes países del mundo importan fibras vegetales muchas de ellas de similar o menor uso que la fibra de coco.
Los actores productivos ecuatorianos, tienen nula o muy limitada información sobre los usos y propiedades de la fibra y por ende, el movimiento comercial en Ecuador, se limita a su vez a pequeños negocios o empresas que importan pequeñas cantidades que son utilizadas casi exclusivamente como sustrato en cultivos. Aunque están dispuestos a informarse sobre este producto.
The subject of this thesis research is called "SOCIO-ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF INDUSTRY AND COCONUT FIBER DOMESTIC MARKET IN ECUADOR IN THE PERIOD 2012 TO 2014 AND OPPORTUNITIES IN INTERNATIONAL MARKETS". Coconut fiber is a product obtained from the peel of the fruit after an extraction process using machines specially designed for that activity. The fiber obtained can be given various types depending on certain properties of coconut and working conditions to which the crust before this process is presented. Once obtained, coconut fiber can be used as raw material for different types of products or be used in agriculture directly as substrate. Knowing this, it is determined that in Ecuador, coconut fiber is not exploited at least on a large scale but, coconut shell (hence), is considered a waste and is treated as such, which will to stop large garbage dumps in different cities. Large fiber producers are located mostly in Asia and to a lesser extent in Latin America specifically Mexico. Moreover, a large export potential because large countries of the world imported many plant fibers similar or lesser use coconut fiber. Ecuadorian productive actors, have no or very limited information on the uses and properties of the fiber and therefore the commercial movement in Ecuador, merely turn to small businesses or companies that import small quantities are used almost exclusively as a substrate in crops. Although they are willing to learn about this product
