La investigacion en campos de agricultores sobre frijol tapado en Costa Rica

From the most important bean-growing areas in Costa Rica, 5 representative locations were selected; a random sampling of 44 farms was conducted to find out why farmers prefer the covered bean system and its main agronomic characteristics. Farmers who used this system were based on characteristics su...

description From the most important bean-growing areas in Costa Rica, 5 representative locations were selected; a random sampling of 44 farms was conducted to find out why farmers prefer the covered bean system and its main agronomic characteristics. Farmers who used this system were based on characteristics such as low production costs, less risk for invested capital, traditional activities that allow for producing the beans that are going to be consumed during the yr and sell the remaining, less labor requirement, and the use of highly steeped land. A total of 38 percent of the farmers who engaged in the project had losses on beans planted in this system; 9 percent had profits between 40 and 80 percent, and 62 percent had profits varying between 100 and 502 percent.

(CIAT) Se seleccionaron 5 localidades representativas de las principales zonas de Costa Rica y se efectuo un muestreo aleatorio de 44 fincas para conocer por que predomina el sistema de siembra de frijol tapado entre los agricultores y sus principales caracteristicas agronomicas. Los agricultores que utilizaron este sistema se basaron en caracteristicas como bajo costo de produccion, menor riesgo de capital invertido, labor tradicional que permite obtener el frijol que van a consumir durante un ano y vender el excedente, menor requerimiento de mano de obra, y la utilizacion de terrenos con excesiva pendiente. El 28 por ciento de los agricultores involucrados en el estudio tuvo perdidas por la siembra del frijol bajo este sistema, 9 por ciento obtuvo utilidades que oscilaron entre 40 y 80 por ciento y 62 por ciento tuvo utilidades que oscilaron entre 100 y 502 por ciento.
