The objective of this research paper is to determine the feasibility of introducing a new product to the Peruvian market: single-use packets of dehydrated (powdered) lemon juice, whose value proposition is practicality, easy transport and the organoleptic attributes of lemon. The technical, economic, financial, and market feasibility of installing a powdered lemon juice plant in Perú was determined. During market research, the market segment was determined as: Peruvians living in the coast, between 18-55 years old, and in the A, B and C socio-economic status. Using surveys, in-depth interviews and focus groups, the purchase intensity, purchase intention and consumption frequency were determined. With this information, the first year’s demand was calculated at 485 191 boxes with 60 sachets in each one. The price of each box is S/13,90 retail price (S/11,78 without tax), with the objective of increasing market share at an accelerated rate. In the plant location chapter, it was determined that the ideal plant location is Tambo Grande, Piura. This is because, among other factors, the short distance to the raw material (San Lorenzo Valley produces more than 40% of the country’s lemon). The plant will have an area of 1000 m2. A total of 8 workers will be hired for production,who will produce between 1700 and 2800 boxes per day. The gross margin on each box sold is almost 60%. According to the economic and financial analysis, the project is feasible and profitable. The economic IRR is 47,5%, the economic NPV is S/3 161 213, the B/C ratio is 2,49 and the economic payback period is 2 years, 6 months and 24 days. The financial IRR is 95,0%, the financial NPV is S/ 3 286 398, the B/C ratio is 6,18 and the financial payback period is 1 year, 6 months and 29 days.
