The kiwicha (Amaranthus caudatus) is a native bean of high nutritional value that can become an important alternative to solve the problems of malnutrition in Peru. Its production area is limited, so it is necessary to increase it through better agricultural practices and the adaptability of varieties with high yield potential in different ecological layers of the country. The objectives of this research were: (a) to determine the adaptability and yield potential of four varieties of kiwicha; (b) determine economic viability based on a cost-benefit analysis; and, (c) to determine the potential agro-ecological zones of production for the cultivation of kiwicha. The study was carried out under agroecological conditions in the localities of Ocobamba, Ahuanccoy and Taccacca of the Kesari micro-watershed; determining the adaptability and yield potential of four varieties of kiwicha in each sector, with a large campaign sowing, medium and organic cultivation technology, application of guano islands, and with application of biocides for pest control. The agronomic variables were evaluated using a randomized complete block design with three repetitions. In Ocobamba, the Centenario variety had the best yield (3733,00 Kg/ha); in Ahuanccoy it was the Oscar Blanco variety (3193,00 Kg/ha); and, in Taccacca was the INIA 414 Taray variety (2157,00 Kg/ha). Profitability was 182,08 percent (Centenario); 128,35 percent (Oscar Blanco); and 58,48 percent (INIA 414 Taray). A suitability map for the cultivation of kiwicha from the Kesari micro watershed was elaborated, with very high suitability 320.21 ha, high suitability 426.75 ha, and with average suitability 78.39 ha. Of the total area that makes up that micro watershed, 1.43% represents suitable for the cultivation of kiwicha, and 98.57% unsuitable
