The agroindustrial sector in the country has been growing at a dizzying pace, with avocado and blueberries as its main products, and the need for beehives, which are vital to achieve better yields in these crops, is also increasing. The cultivated area of avocado in the country is 35,000 hectares and they use 10 beehives per hectare, having a need for 35,000 beehives, which ensures a yield above 30% in case of not using beehives. On the other hand, the cultivated area of blueberry in the country is around 12,000 hectares, which use 48,000 hives in total. "In the case of blueberry, 70% of pollination depends on the bee and the other 30% depends on other insects or small self-pollination." (agricultural network, 2020). Peru has Law 26305 that declares beekeeping to be of national interest, and there is also a national beekeeping development plan 2015 - 2025 led by the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation. Therefore, the development of the solution has a legal framework that supports the beekeeping activity, i.e. creating SMEs that can venture into beekeeping by increasing the availability of hives for pollination in fruit trees. The creation of new beekeeping companies will require labor for the development and breeding of hives, purchase of materials, transportation, agro-industrial companies will be able to increase their production and will need more labor to harvest more fruits achieved by the effect of pollination.
