In this study, an agroforestry system combining cacao and bolaina in Tingo Maria was evaluated. The main goal was to develop a proposal that could increase the system’s profitability through an improved management of the forestry component. To do that, the current technological and productive conditions were characterized, the proposal was designed and two investment appraisal methods were used to compare both alternatives. It was found that cacao trees are harvested regularly all year round, and have a high yield (3 t/ha/y of dried cacao beans). However, for bolaina trees, since their main role is to provide shadow, only two thinnings were conducted in years 3 and 5, and the final harvest is planned for the year 25. Therefore, the proposal looked forward to optimize the management of bolaina trees through short-rotation cutting cycles, replanting, coppicing, among other activities. As a result, it was estimated that it would be possible to harvest around 21 m3/ha of wood every two to three years. With that, the proposal would reach a NPV of 108444 PEN and an IRR of 92%, while the current system, a NPV of 102501 PEN and an IRR of 89%. This indicates that improving the management of the forestry component in an agroforestry system contributes to increasing its profitability. In addition, the carbon stock was estimated as 15,95 tC/ha for the seven-yearold system.
