Modelo de Negocio Sostenible Ganadero en Trópico Colombiano

Abstract

It is widely known that the growing world population demands more and more food, and the agricultural frontier has its limits, therefore, it is necessary to seek optimization of processes to guarantee greater yield per unit area. (ABIEC, 2020) (Barbero et al, 2021) In cattle production, the total kilograms produced per year directly influences the profitability of the production system. Another no less relevant indicator is associated with the number of calves born per year or given season, both of which are related to productive potential. Precocity in a herd is essential to maintain a more profitable livestock farm. (Andrade et al, 2020) To implement this improvement in yields, breeding programs have focused on selection through desirable characteristics (phenotypic and genotypic). (Barbero et al, 2021) It is necessary to understand that it should not be treated as an independent factor, it must be related to nutrition, health and management to achieve the planned purpose. The objective of the work was to establish a replicable business plan for investors who provided the monetary resource and were dedicated to establishing relationships with regional livestock producers who have infrastructure and need to be sustainable. The alliance will be dedicated to producing quality calves under standardized management, using results-based genetics and committed to the sector (environmental and social) in search of results for landowners (regional producers) and investors in the eastern Colombian sector. It was identified, thanks to the study of the information collected by federations and institutes, that there is a big opportunity to improve productive parameters in breeding farms. This is why the business model rises, searching for results and generating an economic impact in the region. It´s necessary to understand that the term infrastructure refers to areas planted in improved pastures and fences that delimit pastures where animals will graze. The regional rancher will be the producer (Administrator) and owner of the farm or land where the productive project will be carried out. The investor will be the natural/legal person in charge of providing the money for the initial purchase of the cows that will function as producers of calves, which will be destined for sale and will finance the project. Keywords: Precocity, breeding livestock, management, economic impact, regional livestock farmers.
