Análisis de productividad y rentabilidad en cultivos de rusco (Ruscus aculeatus ) en los municipios de Anolaima y Cachipay Cundinamarca

Abstract

This document develops a comparative analysis of productivity and profitability of two butcher's broom crops located in two different municipalities Anolaima and Cachipay Cundinamarca considering their potential within the floriculture industry and the production of decorative foliage. The central objective is to evaluate the logistical and financial viability of its export, through a detailed comparison per hectare that allows identifying differences in productive and economic performance between both territorial contexts. To do this, key aspects such as phytosanitary requirements, distribution channels, transport and packaging conditions, as well as competitive dynamics in the international market are analyzed. Additionally, variables such as production per hectare, production costs, cost per kilogram and income generated in both the national and export markets are examined. This comparative approach allows us to demonstrate the advantages, limitations and opportunities of each municipality in terms of productive efficiency and profitability, providing relevant information for strategic decision-making by producers. Altogether, the study seeks to contribute to the strengthening of the regional flower sector and facilitate the insertion of these crops into international markets in a sustainable manner.
