    The present study focuses on the pre-feasibility of producing and commercializating Hass avocados, aiming to compare two export alternatives: selling export-quality avocados to exporting companies versus exporting them directly. The analysis is based on the quantity of Hass avocados produced at El Tablazo farm, located in Abejorral, Antioquia. This project arises as an attempt to find solutions to various challenges faced by the owners of El Tablazo farm over the years in avocado production, such as high domestic supply during certain periods of the year, short harvesting windows, and the volatility of avocado prices in both national and international markets. Amid these challenges and opportunities, the farm owners have identified the growing international market as a chance to pursue forward integration by evaluating different export approaches that could help increase profitability. Therefore, this project aims to conduct a pre-feasibility analysis of Hass avocado production and commercialization for export, comparing sales to exporting companies with direct export. The goal is to determine the viability of each alternative based on the farm’s harvest. To achieve this purpose, the study will be developed using the UNIDO methodology, as it integrates market, administrative, technical, risk, environmental, legal, and financial analyses. The study’s objectives are to assess the financial viability of Hass avocado production and export, analyzing the key factors that influence its commercialization in international markets under two schemes: sales to exporting companies and direct export. The research will examine the macroenvironment, including demand, prices, regulations, and phytosanitary requirements in the main export destinations. Additionally, it will consider the environmental impacts of production and export logistics, along with an analysis of operational and financial costs. Through a descriptive study, relevant information will be collected and evaluated under the UNIDO methodology, considering the sector’s constraints and opportunities to determine the project’s feasibility. At the conclusion of this pre-feasibility study, the aim is to provide a solid foundation for decision-making regarding the most viable modality for the international commercialization of Hass avocados, considering technical, economic, and environmental feasibility.
