Resumen

The objective of this study is to analyze in detail the survival of avocado exporting companies in Peru within the international market between 2012 and 2023, identifying key factors that influence their success and stability.A quantitative approach was adopted, using the analysis of export data obtained from Customs Declarations of Goods and the National Superintendency of Customs and Tax Administration (SUNAT).The methodology included the use of the Kaplan-Meier indicator to estimate the survival function of these companies, thus allowing an objective and precise evaluation of their duration and survival in the market.The results revealed sustained growth in the value and volume of avocado exports, with an average annual growth of 20% in terms of value and weight.However, volatility was observed in the unit price.The number of exporting companies showed an average annual increase of 10%, although the average survival of these companies in the international market was only 4.59 years, with a survival rate that remains at 24% after the eighth year.These findings suggest significant challenges in terms of long-term sustainability and competitiveness for avocado exporting companies in Peru.The
