Planificación de proyectos agroindustriales para aceites esenciales en zonas rurales en el municipio de Tabio, Cundinamarca

Abstract

Agroindustrial initiatives focused on essential oil production in rural contexts often exhibit low technical and financial viability due to deficiencies in planning, structuring, and institutional articulation processes. In this context, this study aims to analyze the key elements required for planning agroindustrial projects for essential oil production in the municipality of Tabio, Cundinamarca, through the application of the Logical Framework Approach. A qualitative study at the profile level was conducted, based on documentary review, comparative analysis of international cases, and the design of a planning model, complemented by a financial viability simulation. The results identified critical factors affecting project viability, highlighting the need to integrate technical, financial, and institutional components from the formulation stage. Additionally, a coherent planning model was developed, supported by a financial analysis that revealed high sensitivity to initial investment. It is concluded that project viability largely depends on the quality of the planning process, and that the Logical Framework Approach enhances project structuring, reduces uncertainty, and increases the potential for implementation in rural settings.
