In the Province of Oxapampa – Peru, passionfruit (Passiflora ligularis Juss) is of socioeconomic and environmental importance. The objective of the present study was characterizing, typify, evaluate sustainability and perform an economic analysis of the production system of passionfruit, in a context of family farming. To characterize the passionfruit production system an Analysis of Main Components was applied, as well as a cluster analysis. The used methodology to evaluate the production system´s sustainability is based on two methods, being the MESMIS framework and Sarandon’s Multicriteria Analysis. To complete the evaluation of the system´s sustainability and make the time-scale operational, data of production and prices was used, as well as an (economic) stability analysis (AMMI). The characterization of the farms allowed the identification of four Main Components. Although the cluster analysis allowed typifying three types of farms, based on the plot size all farms are considered as small. By applying the two methods it was found that the passionfruit production system is Moderately Sustainable, with a SGen value (MESMIS) of 4.6 and a General Sustainability Indicator ISGen (Sarandon) value of 6.2, qualifying the system as Potentially Sustainable. Furthermore, the economic analysis confirms that passionfruit cultivation is profitable at three discount rates (8%, 12% and 14%), with a break-even point (production) of 4 151 kg/ha (346 boxes), and a benefit cost ratio of 1.25, 1.21 and 1.20. For the period 2017-2018 the passionfruit crop in the study area measured a total of 1520 hectares harvested, with an average yield of 12 t/ha. The economic analysis was backed by the AMMI model, which showed that over a period of 18 years, crop sale prices were unstable and passionfruit was more profitable than the other crops. This study shows that the passionfruit production system is economically profitable, socially just, and resilient. However, there were a number of downfalls on the environmental side. At present, the system requires technological innovations, and should mitigate negative environmental aspects for the system to be sustainable.
