Abstract

Adequate management of production costs will allow establishing real production prices in a precise and pertinent manner, without affecting the farmers' work. Under this premise, the objective of the present study was to determine the production costs of Chenopodium quinoa in the Province of Chumbivilcas, 2021. The study was descriptive, non-experimental and quantitative. The sample consisted of information provided by farmers and producers, in addition to documentation related to the production of organic quinoa in the unit of analysis. The results show that the historical costs were established based on experiences in other realities and market suggestions, putting profitability at risk.
