AGRO – LOREM mejoras en el proceso de recolección del aguacate papelillo en fincas de mediana producción.

Abstract

The following work of degree was proposed from 4 chapters that were developed as follows: the first is the theoretical foundation, where the data collection for the identification of the problem and its respective objectives is performed, in the second chapter the design process that carries out the general and specific design conditions for the development of the final product is evidenced, as the third chapter is carried out the process of verification of the project by collecting information and compliance with each of its conditions and objectives and finally; the analysis of each of the factors taking into account the formal configuration processes, ergonomic, production, marketing, costs and innovation for the final product. Likewise, the main objective is to optimize the cutting and harvesting process of Papelillo avocado in medium production farms, thus being an important factor to meet one of the needs of farmers. Avocado harvesting is generally done with pruning shears which only serve for trees and fruits that are within reach of the farmer, which is why damage and mistreatment are generated in the crop at the time of harvesting, as they are not collected in the proper way, thus the product visually looks poor quality, bruised and with pathogens. That is why this project is based on an applied research methodology that allows us to know in depth each of the concepts and situations that lead to the problem and thus seek a solution together. As a result of the research, a tool was obtained that helps growers to improve their harvest and post-harvest processes and, above all, to maintain the quality of the fruit from the time it is cut until it is marketed.
