Resumen
Actualmente en el Ecuador la economía circular se ha adaptado en las grandes industrias siendo de
beneficio económico por la búsqueda de un ingreso extra al principal, siendo así como en esta
investigación estudiará a los agricultores en el cantón de Vinces y el conocimiento que tienen para
aprovechar los residuos del cacao. Se tiene como finalidad analizar la economía circular que se le aplica
a los residuos del cacao por los agricultores de las fincas de Vinces e identificar su uso como materia
prima para la respectiva industrialización. Debido a que la economía circular es un tema de
importancia porque busca la reducción de la explotación de los recursos naturales. Esta es una
investigación con enfoque mixto, de alcance descriptiva y diseño no experimental transeccional. Cabe
mencionar un punto importante a considerar dentro de la presente investigación es el
desconocimiento técnico sobre la aplicación de una economía circular y sus beneficios por parte de
los agricultores encuestados, pues un 66% de ellos afirma no conocer ningún aplicable a los residuos
de cacao provenientes de sus fincas, el 34% restante tiene conocimiento, pero la aplicación de ello
trasciende una cuestión de tradición pues son conocimientos heredados de generación en generación.
Entre las principales razones por las cuales los encuestados no se atreven a comercializar productos
provenientes de residuos de cacao es debido a la falta de conocimientos, la falta de visión empresarial
y por último falta de recursos.
Actually, in Ecuador the circular economy has been adapted in large industries because it represents an economic benefit that means an extra income to the main one. For this reason, in this research it will study the farmers in the canton of Vinces and the knowledge they have for taking advantage of cocoa residues. The principal aim is to analyze the circular economy applied to cocoa residues by the farmers of the Vinces farms and identify its use as raw material for the respective industrialization. On account of, the circular economy is an important issue because it seeks to reduce the exploitation of natural resources. It is a descriptive research with a mixed method, and non-experimental transactional design. It is worth mentioning an important point to consider within this research is the technical ignorance about the application of a circular economy and its benefits by the surveyed farmers, since 66% of them affirm that they do not know any applicable to cocoa residues from of their farms, the remaining 34% have knowledge, but the application of this transcends a matter of tradition since they are knowledge inherited from generation to generation. Among the main reasons why respondents do not dare to commercialize products derived from cocoa residues is due to lack of knowledge, lack of business vision and finally lack of resources.
