    abstract = {The feasibility of an agroecological project is
supported among other factors by the cost-benefit
relationship which tends to shift profitability paradigms
on organic fertilizers within the context of long-term
finances. For this purpose, the objective of this paper is to
carry out a financial study to market organic fertilizers
(compost and vermicompost) in the Sumapaz region. An
initial analysis of the production zones is conducted,
starting with the qualification of 11 farms with livestock
and agricultural production obtained through a stratified
random sampling. Later on this is translated into a
financial analysis of the cost-benefit ratio in the marketing
and agricultural use of organic fertilizers. In order to
develop the project, four stages are designed: a
description of the operating cost performance of the
fertilizer production process; project’s initial investment;
projected financial statement and cost-benefit ratio
analysis of organic fertilizer’s marketing and agricultural
use. Finally, the results of this study will show the
profitability. Through a Net Present Value of COP
$442.067.710 (USD $110,000) will be obtained an
Internal rate of return of 136% and a cost-benefit ratio of
11.58 which represent economic and environmental
benefit compared to agrochemical inputs, through a
workable system for small holders.}
