Abstract

Introduction: This study sought to analyze the yield of potato production in the departments of Antioquia, Boyacá, and Cundinamarca, Colombia, in 2021. The objective of the research was to identify if there are significant differences in the yield of potato crops between these departments. Methodology: The research was carried out by applying an ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) model on a sample of 494 agricultural yield data extracted from a database from the Rural Agricultural Planning Unit (UPRA). Results: The results obtained reveal that Cundinamarca obtained the highest average yield of 19.67 (T/ha) and the lowest dispersion of the data, which could indicate the existence of greater stability in its production. On the other hand, Antioquia is the department with the lowest average yield, 15.26 (T/ha), and the highest variance, indicating greater heterogeneity in yields compared to the other departments. Conclusions: The ANOVA analysis developed confirmed the hypothesis of the existence of significant differences between the performances of the three departments.
