Resumen
"La región del Alto Valle de Río Negro, donde el autor ha nacido, ha sufrido en los últimos años la concentración de las tierras productivas en manos de los más importantes comerciantes de frutas. La integración vertical de estas compañías ha creado una situación de inequidad para los pequeños productores, quienes viven en economías de subsistencia y no tienen el poder de negociación con las grandes compañías.
La crisis financiera global ha disminuído el volumen y el precio de la fruta exportada. En este contexto, los pequeños productores tienen que cosechar su producción a pérdida y la perspectiva para las siguientes temporadas es aún peor.
Este trabajo analiza la viabilidad de construir una planta procesadora de jugos naturales principalmente de manzana, pero también de peras y berries, con materia prima provista por estos pequeños productores a un precio mayor. Con un objetivo social como punto de partida, este proyecto final analiza la distribución de los costos y beneficios de la planta para el resto de la sociedad.
El proyecto busca resolver dos problemas: la situación de los productores, además de un mercado no satisfecho, con consumidores buscando cada vez más productos naturales como pueden ser jugos no provenientes de jugos concentrados.
Con la colaboración del gobierno provincial como prestamista, el inversor llevará a cabo el proyecto según la doctrina del Comercio Justo, ayudando de manera directa a aproximadamente 170 familias de productores una vez que el proyecto alcance su estado de régimen".

The vertical integration of these companies created a situation of inequality for small farmers, who are living in the subsistence economies and do not have power of negotiation with big companies. The global financial crisis has dimished the volume and price of fruit exported. In this context, small farmers must now reap its production at loss and the perspective of the next seasons is even worse. This paper analyzes the feasibility of building a processing plant of natural juices (specially apple juices) with raw material provided by small farmers at higher prices. With a social objective as a starting point, the thesis analyzes the distribution of costs and benefits from this project to the rest of the society. The proyect will solve two problems, the situation of the farmers and in the other hand a not satisfied market, with customers looking for more natural products such as not from concentrate juices. With collaboration of the state government as lender, the investor will run the project following the doctrine of Fair Trade, helping in a direct way about 170 families of farmers once the project is in full operation".
