The study addresses the need to structure technological routes in the province of Pastaza, where the lack of planning has limited agro-industrial development. Through a technical and objective prioritization, agricultural, livestock, and forestry resources with the highest transformation potential were selected, ensuring their valorization within efficient and sustainable production systems. The methodology was based on the grouping of technologies by sector, establishing selection criteria grounded in production volume, economic value, transformation potential, and environmental sustainability. Applicable technologies were identified for sugarcane, milk, and pigüe, considering biorefinery processes, waste utilization, and the optimization of production routes through P-Graph. The results indicate that the province produces 10,201 tons of sugarcane annually, 8,471 liters of milk daily, and has a forest cover of 749,633 hectares, demonstrating the potential of these resources for bioethanol production, biofuels, dairy derivatives, and kraft pulp. It is concluded that the integration of these technological routes contributes to productive diversification, the strengthening of the local bioeconomy, and agro-industrial sustainability. However, the adoption of these technologies faces challenges related to investment, infrastructure, and market acceptance. It is advisable to conduct experimental validation of the processes and to develop strategies that promote their implementation, ensuring a positive impact on the competitiveness of the agro-industrial sector and the efficient management of resources in Pastaza.
