description Financial feasibility is essential for decision making in a production system. Therefore all agricultural activity should use this tool to gain a greater understanding of its finantial exercise and also have an objective support to determine among other things whether to continue with the activity, diversify, combine it or lease the physical space where it is performed. The aim of this work is to conduct a financial evaluation in the production system of potato Solanum tuberosum variety Diacol capiro, in a participatory manner and with the inclusion of historical indicators, depending on time horizons and rate chance.The study population corresponded to 32 potato farmers enrolled in the company providing agricultural technical services (Epsagro) Oicata Township, Boyaca, 2014, of which 3 producers (large, medium and small) were selected for the research. The results indicate that the participatory rural diagnosis was a proper research tool for information, also there were differences in the structure of production cost in the different farmers. Besides in the municipality of Oicata was found that there are flaws in relevant operational and accounting standards, that should be corrected.

La factibilidad financiera es fundamental para tomar decisiones en un sistema productivo, en consecuencia, toda actividad agropecuaria debe hacer uso de dicha herramienta, a fin de obtener mayor comprensión de su ejercicio financiero y, a la vez, tener un soporte objetivo para determinar, entre otras cosas, si continuar con la actividad, diversificarla, combinarla o arrendar el espacio físico donde se realiza (1). El objetivo de este trabajo fue realizar una evaluación financiera en el sistema de producción de la papa Solanum tuberosum, variedad Diacol capiro, de manera participativa y con la inclusión de indicadores históricos, en función de horizontes de tiempo y tasa de oportunidad. La población objeto del estudio correspondió a 32 agricultores de papa inscritos en la Empresa Prestadora de Servicios Técnicos Agropecuarios (Epsagro) del municipio de Oicatá, departamento de Boyacá, para el año 2014, de los cuales se seleccionaron tres productores (grande, mediano y pequeño) para realizar la investigación. Los resultados indican que el diagnóstico rural participativo fue una herramienta de investigación adecuada para la compilación de la información, además de la existencia de diferencias en la estructura de costos de producción en los diferentes agricultores. En el municipio de Oicatá se encontró que existen fallas relevantes a nivel operativo y contable que deben ser corregidas.
