In Colombia, the potato is considered as a commodity whose price depends mainly on the local supply and demand. The Colombian potato’s segment has large uncertainties on their benefits for either short, medium or long term. This is due to the high volatility of prices of the commodity. This paper shows a simulation model to guide investment strategies for different kinds of potato crops in Colombia, keeping in mind different variables such as price, cost and investment in new technologies. Hence, conclusions on potato crops’ profits are then formulated as they are highly sensitive to three factors: price, production costs and inflation.Downloads
