Estimación del potencial de producción y de costos unitarios del vivero de la Facultad del Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales de la Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas

Abstract

The present research had as objectives, make a comprehensive diagnosis of the nursery, of the Faculty of Environmental, and Natural Resources (FAMARENA), of The Universidad Distrital Francisco Jose de Caldas , and a estimation of the vegetal production and determination of unit costs, which arises with the idea and purpose of obtain base information about yields and costs of production, for what in the future, the nursery can produce vegetal material for the market and not only with academic and research purposes. For this, they showed the debilities, threat, strengths and opportunities, having the nursery, was performed the calculus of the product capacity, according to this, was determined the unit costs of production for perform a comparative and competitive analysis against unit costs of production of other forestry nurseries. The data analysis obtained, allowed determine the unit cost of production for five forestry species, which produced the lowest cost for the Alnus acuminata, followed by Dodonea viscosa, Lafoensia speciosa, Cedrela montana and finally with the highest cost Quercus humboldtii, where were observed that the variables of most influence for resolve the unit cost total per specie were: the unit cost of workmanship, the unit cost of substrate per bag and the unit cost per water. Likewise, the comparison performed with the unit costs of production of other forestry nurseries, demonstrated, that in this nursery can achieve a high potential of commercialization of forestry species, but still is needed improve other relevant aspects in the production.
