Description
Summary:The onion bulb crop is important as an alternative income resource because of the great amount of labor that it requires and the good adaptation and viability in farming systems for small farmers. The research will serve as input for decision-making to maximize the value of production units, looking for their positioning in the market, developing products and services that guarantee the generation of liquidity, improvement of  profitability for owners and optimization of financing. In this context, we propose to develop the economical and financial evaluation of the onion bulb crop in the district region of Alto Chicamocha, one of the largest onion bulb producers in Boyacá. This research work is focused on the identification of the profitability and analysis of variables in the productions under a business view, using a descriptive methodology, based on primary data collection through questionnaires and interviews to producers and directors in 2011. This research work was oriented under the direction of  Gestión  Empresarial research group, from Escuela de Administraciòn de Empresas Agropecuarias, as a contribution to the regional development.
