The agricultural sector is one of the most important sectors for Peru, being the most important economic activity for rural areas and food production chains. Thanks to the interaction with farmers from Junín, we have been able to observe the disparity in the negotiation capacities between small and medium-sized farmers and intermediaries, which results in a lower proportion of profits for farmers from the sale of their products. In Peru, more than 60% of the food consumed is produced by small and medium farmers, who are the most affected by the action of intermediaries. Therefore, we propose a viable solution to the problem of our farmers, with the objective of improving their income from the sale of their products. To address this challenge, we propose to improve the potato distribution chain and promote associations between small and medium- sized businesses. producers connecting farmers directly with wholesale markets through a mobile application “El Agricultor“. This application will allow the user to know the real prices in the main wholesale markets where their products are going to be marketed, this will improve their negotiation capacity and in turn obtain better profit margins, which will have a direct impact on the family economy and a better quality of life by reducing the economic inequalities that are currently present. In summary, we propose that an improvement in farmers' profitability can be promoted by balancing the asymmetry in bargaining capacities between small and medium potato producers and intermediary traders, which produces a disparity in the distribution of profits, through from an analysis of the contribution that each player makes to the value chain of potato production and distribution. We propose concrete measures to achieve this goal.
