3. DESCRIPTION OF THE UNDERGRADUATE THESIS PROPOSAL

3.1. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

The cacao tree belongs to the family Sterculiaceae, for the production of cacao it requires
specific variables: its altitude must be on average 400 to 1200 m.a.s.l. the temperature
It should be in the range of 22° to 30°C, with a humidity of 75% to 80%. Precipitation should
to be between 1,500 and 2,500 millimeters annually, preferably well distributed throughout the year. The soil
It must have a medium texture with a good balance of sands or loose soil and clays. In its first
The growth stage needs to have shade for this tree to develop well. Farmers
from these regions they plant trees within the crop for this purpose, however, the federation of
cacao growers recommend planting in transitional crops that provide shade to the crop, which
they can vary whether it is cassava, plantain, or even fruit trees that allow both to develop in a
future. The cacao tree reaches its production stage when it turns two years old, this varies according to
the regions. Nowadays, the criollo cocoa crops are being replaced by grafted cocoa, which
it reaches a height lower than that of the criollo cacao, this can reach a height of up to 8 meters and the grafted one.
it can reach a height of 3 meters, which allows for a faster collection of this fruit. Its productivity
increases in square hectares.

The largest cocoa producer in Colombia is Santander with 46% of the production, it is worth noting that
More than 350 municipalities cultivate cocoa, especially in the area of San Vicente de Chucurí, which has
characterized by the quality of its fruit compared to the rest of the country, in this municipality it reaches a
high production as the crop renewal has been implemented with more than 450,000 plants in 1,400
hectares, in one hectare up to 1000 cocoa plants can fit according to Fedecacao.

In the province of Mares, Santander, its heights range from 81 m.a.s.l. to 1820 m.a.s.l.
precipitations ranging from 1735mm to 3104mm annually; the humidity in this area is
approximately 50% to 80%. It has a climate that varies between 17° and 37°C. It has a
broken relief to steep, with slopes between 10% and 50%, The soil has a loamy texture
clayey, well-drained with low moisture retention and a rocky appearance, the latter
makes the soil susceptible to erosion. It has a good amount of Al and low levels of pH, Ca
Mg and K. 40% of these soils are shallow which makes it necessary to use shade.
permanent.

In the province of seas, 57.14% of the territory is feasible due to the temperature, height and
precipitation, their soils are clayey, sandy, and silty, and the preferred soil for cocoa is
sandy, clayey-loamy which is found in 64% of the area. This makes the province of seas
it has around 60% optimal for cocoa production meeting all its requirements, but
it also has areas where cocoa harvesting can be implemented with some
modifications to it.

By knowing all the favorable factors in production, it can help the entire area or the large
part of it can produce cocoa without affecting its region, implementing some changes. The areas with
higher temperatures require more shade so that cocoa does not dry out, it must be planted more
tall canopy trees will lower the temperature and give the area more chances for it to
high-quality cacao. On the other hand, the biggest problem for the cacao deficit is the deterioration of
the roads, mobility for these sectors is very deficient, their roads have poor access or are very
deteriorated, this makes the transportation of cocoa slower and its distribution less effective
towards the companies that use this product for their derivatives; large losses can be incurred

shot. Most are third-order roads and more than 50% are unpaved, we can say that the
the national government has focused a lot on cacao crop renewal programs and has stopped
all that relates to the roads that connect with the major cocoa producers.

Due to the problem facing the Mares province, we consider it essential to analyze the ways of
access that the area has, which is why we see the need to collect information for the
implementation of strategic routes where the transfer of cocoa to its destination is more feasible
finally, in order to create a georeferencing model.

3.3.1. GENERAL OBJECTIVE

3.3.2. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
They are actions that will be carried out and that will present partial results to obtain
the achievement of the general objective. The specific objectives are written in an orderly manner to
to logically fulfill the general objective, that is, they are the steps classified in order
those that must be met to achieve the general objective.

It is recommended to have between 3 to 4 well-defined specific objectives that provide a solution to the
problematic. One must avoid confusing the execution of necessary or methodological activities
from the thesis as an objective, for example: the collection of information, the
documentation of results or writing an article is not a specific objective
suitable.

3.4. STATE OF THE ART / BACKGROUND

entrepreneurship. Each citation from the state of the art/background must be referenced, following
the updated APA standard (American Psychological Association).

3.5. REFERENCE FRAMEWORK

In the reference framework, all frameworks that may exist in the execution of the work apply.
such as the theoretical framework, legal framework, conceptual framework, environmental framework, among others. The framework
Theoretical refers to the description of doctrines, postulates or theories that are already of
universal knowledge, which underpins the solution to the problem posed. The legal framework
it refers to the rules and laws that are directly related to the development of
proposed work. The current Colombian regulations must be taken into account. The framework
conceptual refers to the identification of relevant concepts of the work subject, without
to confuse it with a glossary.

The environmental framework complies with the requirements that the thesis must meet to ensure that
this is consistent with the environment. It is analyzed whether natural resources are affected
such as air, water, soil, and biodiversity with their respective ecosystems. This
must be related to the current environmental regulations. Finally, the historical framework
refers to the chronologically related information prior to the presentation of the
proposal.
