This work was carried out with the general objective of evaluating the sustainability of production farms of Opuntia ficus indica for the production of Dactylopius coccus, in Arequipa, Peru. The specific objectives were (a) to characterize the production farms of Opuntia ficus indica for the production of Dactylopius coccus, (b) to evaluate the sustainability of the production farms of Opuntia ficus indica for the production of Dactylopius coccus, (c) to evaluate some technological improvements for the artificial infestation of Opuntia ficus indica with nymphs of Dactylopius coccus. For the first two objectives, a questionnaire of questions that considered technical, social and economic aspects was applied to a sample of producers (n = 252) of a population of 819 farmers. The results showed that the farms are complex and diverse, and that the production of carmine cochineal is complemented with dairy farming and crops. The returns and income are not low; but the associativity and cultivation techniques are not good, besides the drinking water service, drainage and asphalting of internal roads, is deficient. The cluster analysis by the Ward Method at a Square Euclidean distance of 600, classified the farms into six groups, the most frequent being the VI type that has 4.6 hectares installed with prickly pear, produces 574 kg of dry cochineal and has an income of US $ 7418 ha-1 año-1. To evaluate the sustainability, the “MESMIS Framework“ and the “Multicriteria Analysis“ were used, it was found that the prickly pear production farms are not sustainable. In the artificial infestation test of O. ficus indica with D. coccus, it was found that yield in fresh and dry, the ratio fresh weight-dry weight, the carminic acid and the income, both for the application of nymphs and use of oviplenal females, did not show significant statistical differences.
