Estudio de prefactibilidad para la organización comunitaria En la construcción de una central de café cereza en el municipio de la palma, cundinamarca, como opción de paz

The municipality of La Palma, Cundinamarca is based on agriculture and livestock farming, with coffee growing the engine of development. The Association of Coffee Growers of the Palm" Asoparibari has organized families in the area, seeking to improve the processes of community organization, productivity and coffee sustainability. On the other hand, the National Federation of Coffee Growers has been promoting projects for the construction of coffee production centers seeking to improve the quality of grain and the management of by-products. One such project is focused on being managed by Asoparibari. Since the municipality of La Palma has 1204 hectares cultivated with coffee and concentrates mainly in a geographical area, the association Asoparibari has decided to orient its efforts in finding resources for the construction and start-up of a profit center that favors near of 100 families in the area. However, doubts arise as to whether the construction of the profit center is justified? Are the association operating the profit center? Do they have sufficient logistical capacity to carry out the project? Are the partners willing to bring their coffee to the association? Is there sufficient credibility in the association? These and more questions arise now of thinking about this project, since, if a previous study is not done, the project can become a great difficulty for the association and a waste of both economic and human resources. In conclusion, this project will show the prefeasibility study that seeks to determine the Technical Viability, for the construction of a cherry coffee plant in the municipality of La Palma Cundinamarca, identifying weaknesses and strengths that will allow to make recommendations to improve organizational processes to the association of Asoparibari producers on the pertinence of continuing or not with the process for the construction of this profit center, applying the methodology of the Organizational Capacities Index in Coffee Communities, ICOCC.
