The stock of pigs in Ecuador shows that from 2014 to 2021 there was a decrease of 856_396 head, although the loss of the last five years represents only 7.1%. In Napo this last stage had critical repercussions because its swine inventory fell by 56.7%. With this background, the objective of the research was to analyze the swine production management systems in the canton of Carlos Julio Arosemena Tola, Napo province, Ecuador. A structured survey with open-ended questions was applied. The results were analyzed in three stages: 1) Partial correlation controlled by the area dedicated to swine production, 2) Principal Component Analysis and 3) k-means cluster analysis. In the management systems 64.5% of the accumulated variance is explained by feed efficiency; reproductive activity; immunization; helminthic control and professionalization.
