Abstract

ABSTRACT


Every day people are more concerned about their nutrition however, at the same time they have little time to prepare healthy food for daily consumption, that is why a new product is offered on the market, this being the Kürbis Pancakes which are pumpkin tortillas, which is an indigenous product with a high nutritional level and that offers a number of health benefits, among them: it helps digestion, increases energy level, prevents anemia, helps hypertension and improves skin care. The descriptive research focuses on Urban Parishes of the Zonal Administration Eugenio Espejo del D.M. of Quito, for which the survey technique is used. The market study shows that there is an unsatisfied demand compared to an indirect offer; in addition, it is established that the price of the package of 10 units more accessible to the potential consumer is $ 1.50. On the other hand, an analysis of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats is made from which the strategy matrix is derived. It concludes by demonstrating the commercial feasibility of the product and plans to continue with the economic study in the future.
