Ítem Análisis metagenómico y perfil metabólico de la comunidad bacteriana del proceso fermentativo artesanal de cacao de una finca cacaocultora de Santander, Colombia(Universidad EAFIT, 2020) Angulo Patrón, Giany Lucia; Correa Álvarez, JavierÍtem Caracterización de la epidemiología de Moniliophthora roreri, hongo fitopatógeno del cacao(Universidad EAFIT, 2021) Jiménez Zapata, Diana Lorena; Mosquera López, Sandra; Correa Álvarez, JavierÍtem Caracterización de la respuesta de Moniliophthora roreri a fungicidas químicos : eficacia y potencial de generar resistencia(Universidad EAFIT, 2023) Serna Muriel, Daniela; Mosquera López, Sandra; Correa Álvarez, JavierÍtem Desarrollo de líneas de cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) editadas genéticamente que limiten la acumulación de cadmio en sus tejidos : FASE-I(Universidad EAFIT, 2020) Rodríguez Bolaño, Jose Ángel; Marín Vélez, Neyder Alejandro; Villanueva Mejía, Diego FernandoCocoa (Theobroma cacao) is the primary source of raw material for chocolate production and its derivatives. In current decades, high concentrations of cadmium have been found in cocoa-based products, which has been recognized by several organizations as a threat to human health, food security, and the future of the cocoa industry. Therefore, advances in agronomic and genetic methods that reduce this heavy metal in plants are necessary. In the present study, an in silico metadata analysis was carried out to identify genes involved in cadmium absorption to propose them as a target for genetic improvement through modern precision biotechnology techniques as genetic editing. We found 26 proteins, 88% of them reported in Arabidopsis thaliana, and 38% in Oryza sativa, which belong to 8 protein families. The remaining members of each family were included for analysis. Thus, expression data obtained from the Genevestigator software were evaluated for 44 genes of A. thaliana and 37 of O. sativa, and it was found that the TcNRAMP5 gene of T. cacao, "orthologs" of OsNRAMP5 of O. sativa, is closely related to the root absorption process of Cd. Consequently, it was postulated as a gene target for genetic editing to decrease Cd concentration in cocoa plants. A genetic editing methodology based on CRISPR/Cas9 system was structured using Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated genetic transformation and protoplast transfection. Furthermore, this research structured a methodology for the establishment and generation of in vitro plants through indirect somatic embryogenesis and protoplast isolation, as a fundamental basis of the proposed modern biotechnological platform, which leads to the improvement of genetic accuracy in cocoa.Ítem Estudio de factibilidad para la producción y exportación de cacao en el municipio de Sincelejo-Sucre(Universidad EAFIT, 2016) Montes Montiel, Carlos Javier; Gómez Salazar, Elkin Arcesio; Henao Cálad, MónicaFEDECACAO afirma que en Colombia el cultivo de cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) es una actividad económica tradicional, que se lleva a cabo en pequeñas o medianas parcelas, con tamaño de 3 hectáreas en promedio, que en los últimos años ha tomado auge su producción, debido a los buenos precios del mercado y a su alta demanda tanto a nivel nacional como internacional -- Este escenario llevó al autor a realizar un estudio de factibilidad para la producción y exportación de cacao en el municipio de Sincelejo-Sucre, a través del cual se identifican los principales aspectos que debe tener en cuenta un inversionista en esta región del país, para implementar de manera industrializada y amigable con el medio ambiente, un cultivo agroforestal de cacao -- El análisis de las etapas que conforman este estudio de factibilidad fueron abordadas con base en el manual para la preparación de estudios de viabilidad industrial propuesto por la ONUDI (Organización de las Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo Industrial); esta metodología fue escogida como la más apropiada para este tipo de proyectos, dado que considera en su desarrollo los estudios de mercado, técnico, administrativo, financiero, legal y de riesgo, que permitan tomar la mejor decisión para realizar cualquier tipo de proyectos en general -- Los resultados del desarrollo de la investigación evidencian que el proyecto, desde la metodología de evaluación utilizada, presenta un escenario favorable para su implementación, siempre y cuando se apliquen las técnicas descritas en el contenido de la investigación para el cultivo de cacao; así mismo, de los resultados se obtiene que la mano de obra, la tasa de cambio y el precio internacional del cacao, son los factores que afectan directamente los índices de rentabilidad del proyectoÍtem Estudio de prefactibilidad sobre una línea de negocio nueva de cacao en una finca con plantación de palma de aceite(Universidad EAFIT, 2023) Mogollón Ramírez, Laura Camila; Parente Laverde, Ana MaríaThe purpose of this prefeasibility study is to demonstrate the viability and potential of implementing a new line of business focused on the production and marketing of cocoa beans, on a farm dedicated to oil palm plantations. Relevant aspects are analyzed such as the market and demand for cocoa, technical aspects, financial analysis, legal environment, and the socioeconomic environment that would surround the plantation. As a result, the findings indicate that diversification into cocoa cultivation represents a promising strategic opportunity, providing economic and environmental benefits, and contributing to the sustainability and profitability of the farm.Ítem Evaluación de bacterias cadmio tolerantes aisladas a partir de suelos provenientes de una finca cacaotera del Urabá antioqueño(Universidad EAFIT, 2021) Tovar Vélez, Valentina; Jaramillo Mazo, Claudia; Correa Álvarez, Javier; Jaramillo Mazo, Claudia.; Correa Álvarez, JavierÍtem Extracción de pectinas a partir de los subproductos del beneficio del cacao(2009-04-16) Betancourt Latorre, Lucas D.; Llano Moreno, Juan E.; Palacio G., Guillermo LeónÍtem Identificación de cadmio (Cd) soluble en rocas fosfóricas y su relación con diversas propiedades encontradas sobre yacimientos empleados para la producción de fertilizantes de la Cordillera Oriental(Universidad EAFIT, 2022) Rojas Jaimes, Pablo Alejandro; Ortega Pérez, Diana CristinaÍtem Impacto financiero a través de coberturas con forward para una empresa exportadora de cacao en grano en Colombia(Universidad EAFIT, 2022) Marín Cano, Natalia; Valencia Gil, Jhon Alexander; Cardona Llano, Juan FelipeCurrently, many Colombian companies are facing new challenges derived from the opening of foreign markets, a fact that forces them to carry out transactions in a currency other than the local one –in this case the Colombian peso–. These operations are accompanied by risks inherent in a globalized world where it is essential to generate tools that allow them to mitigate the risk caused by market variations. Two of these risks are the volatility of the US dollar and the international price of raw materials (commodities), whose fluctuation generates uncertainty for companies, depending on external factors that directly affect their cash flows. Thus, the purpose of this document is to describe the financial impact generated by hedging financial instruments for a cocoa exporting company in Colombia that carries out operations in foreign currency.Ítem El impacto psicosocial del ICO + R en los asociados que participan del Proyecto Alianza “El Efecto Cacao”(Universidad EAFIT, 2021) Niebles Sincelejo, Saúl José; Vargas Sáenz, Mario EnriqueThe objective of this investigation is to evaluate the Psychosocial Impact resulting from the application of the ICO + R in the associates that participate in the Alliance Project: "The Cocoa Effect" in the Department of Huila, the Subregions of El Bajo Cauca and Uraba Antioqueño, and the municipality of Tumaco in the Department of Nariño. The investigation is divided into two phases, the first phase corresponds to a review of the literature, which appears to identify the psychosocial conditions prior to the application of the ICO + R. The second phase, a survey was implemented to measure the current state of psychosocial conditions in a representative sample of the associates participating in the Project - Alliance: “The Cocoa Effect”.Ítem Intraspecific variability of the Moniliophthora roreri populations in Colombia and its association with colony morphology and growth rate(Universidad EAFIT, 2022) Quiroga Pérez, Manuela; Mosquera López, Sandra; Diaz Nieto, Juan Fernando; Correa Álvarez, JavierÍtem Manual de agricultura tropical(Bogotá : Imprenta de La Epoca, 1896) Nicholls, Henry Alfred Alford, 1851-1926Ítem La mejora en la calidad de vida de pequeños productores de cacao a través de la asociatividad empresarial : caso Cooperativa Central Cacao de Aroma - Provincia de Tocache(Universidad EAFIT, 2020) Barrueto Castillo, Enrique Omar; Vargas Sáenz, Mario EnriqueThis research deals with the analysis of the experience of the central cooperative Cacao de Aroma in the town of Tocache, department of San Martín, between 2014, when the cooperative was created and 2017. The purpose of analyzing this experience is to verify how associativity and human capital in this business model have been beneficial both for the members of the cooperative, meaning partners and workers, as well as for the surrounding community in general. The objectives of the research focus on: knowing the life timeline of the cooperative and its most important historical milestones, knowing the organization's management model, knowing the impacts that the cooperative's activities have produced in the community , and know the challenges and challenges of the organization as a look to the future. For this case study, we base ourselves theoretically on the concepts of local economic development, human development, sustainable development, competitiveness, associativity, social capital, institutionality, governance, and quality of life. The analysis of this case is methodologically based on the collection of information and data found in the cooperative's documents, as well as on the information that is published in the organization's documents and virtual media. This information is crossed with the information obtained in the field work where interviews and visits have been made to the same community and cooperative. Due to these qualitative methodology techniques, we can know in depth the appraisals about the experience and it also allows us to validate the questions that we pose as research objectives. As a result of all this study, we can affirm that the results are encouraging and it is confirmed that the experience has really been and has allowed to improve the quality of life of the producers of the cooperative, which in turn has offered a beneficial impact in a way. indirect to the Tocache community. However, also, as we will see at the end, there are some challenges and opportunities for improvement that have been identified and that will be necessary for the members of the organization to implement in order to continue achieving the positive results they have achieved so far.Ítem Modelo de gestión de empresa social rural para el fomento del desarrollo local, aplicado al caso de estudio Abicaspu(Universidad EAFIT, 2021) Giraldo Naranjo, Danna Marcela; Hernández Galvis, Luis Miguel; Vargas Saenz, Mario EnriqueÍtem Plan de negocios para el establecimiento de una exportadora de cacao fino de aroma en Santa Rosa, El Oro, Ecuador(Universidad EAFIT, 2023) Zambrano Nuquez, José Andrés; Sanders, ArieÍtem Plan exportador para la empresa Comercializadora Makencal S.A.S.(Universidad EAFIT, 2022) Villa Rivera, Jonathan; Zúñiga Raigoza, Jaime Alberto; Giraldo Hernández, Gina MaríaÍtem Posibles fuentes potencializadoras de la diversificación exportadora para el crecimiento económico colombiano(Universidad EAFIT, 2019) Juya Bareño, Iván Andrés; Rivillas Vargas, Katherine; Franco González, HumbertoIn the present work, a descriptive analysis of the Hass avocado market and Colombian cocoa is carried out around its productivity and the accelerated growth of its exports, in order to publicize the great potential of these products as an additional generating source of foreign exchange, which although they are products that have been exported since previous years, have recently been gaining greater international relevance and could contribute more to the economic growth of the country in the short term via external sector.Ítem Rhizosphere bacterial community and its relationship with cadmium distribution in Theobroma cacao crops in Antioquia(Universidad EAFIT, 2024) Jaramillo-Mazo, Claudia Yuliet; Correa Álvarez, JavierÍtem Unveiling Genetic Diversity : Construction and Analysis of the Moniliophthora roreri Pangenome”(Universidad EAFIT, 2023) Gallego-Rendón, Isabella; Riaño-Pachón, Diego MauricioThe cacao pathogen Moniliophthora roreri poses a significant threat to global cacao production. This is due to its distinct dispersal ability, its propensity to infect a wide range of cacao cultivars, its adaptability to different ecological niches, and its high pathogenicity. To develop effective control strategies, a deeper understanding of its genetic diversity and functional capabilities is critical. The objective of this study was to perform a pangenomic analysis of 22 M. roreri genomes to gain insights into its genetic composition and potential functional properties.
