Producción y comercialización del aceite de la semilla de sacha inchi en la Ciudad de Bogotá

Abstract

The Sacha Inchi Seed native to the Amazon rainforests of Peru, is currently known as one of the most important oilseeds in the world thanks to its high concentrations of fatty acids (Omega 3, 6 and 9). Many scientific studies have been conducted to this day to determine its multiple benefits for human health and the versatility of products that can be purchased from the seed. That is why in Colombia a growth in the cultivation of Sacha Inchi Seed is currently manifesting in different territories of the country due to the favorable conditions in terms of climate and terrain. Evidencing that this seed is currently cultivated in the country, the problem is aimed at wasting the opportunity to produce and market a product derived from it, which may be aimed at a city population that requires its properties or benefits. With this project, it is proposed to produce and commercialize an oil derived from the Sacha Inchi seed in the city of Bogotá, which is disclosed through marketing strategies and represents a benefit for consumer health.
