| dc.description.abstract | El arazá es una planta originaria de Sudamérica, principalmente de la región alta del Amazonas, en países como Brasil, Colombia, Perú, Uruguay y Ecuador. También se le conoce como guayaba brasileña o amazónica y se caracteriza por ser un árbol de bajo crecimiento que suele alcanzar 1 metro de altura, aunque puede llegar a medir hasta 6 metros en su etapa adulta. Pertenece a la familia Myrtaceae (árboles tropicales), que incluye la guayaba y el eucalipto, entre otros.Inicialmente, se consideraba un ambientador natural debido a su exquisito aroma, por lo que algunos lugareños evitaban consumirlo y, en cambio, lo utilizaban para perfumar sus habitaciones. Posteriormente, a partir de la década de 1980, se comenzó a cultivar artesanalmente esta planta debido a sus usos medicinales y a los beneficios de su fruto, que, al madurar, tiene un sabor agridulce similar al de la piña y el mango. Uno de los retos que enfrenta la empresa FRUTAS ENDEMICAS DEL AMAZONAS SAS es priorizar la diversificación de las exportaciones como objetivo estratégico nacional, superar las barreras logísticas y crear un entorno regulatorio favorable para mejorar la competitividad. Comprender a fondo el mercado de exportación objetivo es crucial, ya que la selección de los mercados adecuados implica el estudio de factores económicos, culturales, políticos y logísticos.Este plan busca identificar un nuevo mercado internacional para la comercialización del néctar de arazá producido en Colombia, con el fin de expandir la presencia internacional del producto gracias a sus ventajas competitivas como fruta exótica y tradicional. Además, pretendemos determinar las condiciones globales para la exportación del producto, considerando las necesidades y hábitos de cada mercado. Esto implica desarrollar un estudio de mercado con una estrategia comercial para introducir y promover el producto en el país de destino, así como preparar un análisis financiero para estimar los costos y precios requeridos para la exportación. Esta investigación relevante se llevará a cabo para facilitar la exportación internacional del néctar de arazá. Se considera que el néctar contiene muchos componentes beneficiosos para el bienestar y que la fruta se encuentra en regiones específicas, no en todo el mundo, lo que agrega valor y respalda la expansión del producto a diferentes mercados globales. | spa |
| dc.description.abstractenglish | Arazá is a plant native to South America, mainly in the upper Amazon region of countries like Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Uruguay, and Ecuador. It is also known as Brazilian or Amazonian guava and is characterized by a low-growing tree that typically reaches 1 meter in height but can grow up to 6 meters as an adult. It belongs to the Myrtaceae family (tropical trees), which includes guava and eucalyptus, among others. Initially, it was regarded as a natural air freshener due to its exquisite aroma, which is why some locals or residents avoided consuming it and instead used it to scent their rooms. Later, starting in the 1980s, people began to cultivate this plant artisanally due to its medicinal uses and the benefits of its fruit, which, when ripe, has a sweet and sour taste between pineapple and mango One of the challenges facing the company FRUTAS ENDEMICAS DEL AMAZONAS SAS is prioritizing export diversification as a national strategic objective, overcoming logistical barriers, and creating a favorable regulatory environment to enhance competitiveness. Understanding the target export market thoroughly is crucial, as selecting the right markets involves studying economic, cultural, political, and logistical factors. This plan aims to identify a new international market for the commercialization of arazá nectar produced in Colombia, to expand the product's international presence due to its competitive advantages as an exotic and traditional fruit. Additionally, we aim to determine the global conditions for exporting the product, taking into account the needs and habits of each market. This involves developing a market study with a commercial strategy to introduce and promote the product in the destination country, as well as preparing a financial analysis to estimate the costs and prices required for export. This relevant research will be conducted to facilitate the international export of arazá nectar. It is considered that nectar contains many beneficial components for well-being and that the fruit is found in specific regions rather than worldwide, which adds value and supports expanding the product into different global markets. | spa |
