Abstract

The present work is carried out with the purpose of evaluating the studies necessary to determine the feasibility and startup of a collection center for the drying and storage of the hard corn grain in the canton Balzar. The same that will grant a contribution for the small and medium yellow grain farmer in the area of this canton, as they are continuously harmed at the time of obtaining their crops, because the prices paid by the intermediaries in the immediate sale of this crop are very lows compared to the official price decreed by the National Government through MAGAP. It´s like, that this project seeks to provide an alternative that allows the small and medium farmer to associate with this center if they wishes to dry and store the grain; And in the subsequent months when the supply is low, together with other associated farmers, proceed to market it directly to the grain processing industry, in order to obtain a fair and more equitable benefit for their work.
