The data were obtained from the Central Bank of Ecuador proposing the study with a quantitative and descriptive approach, the values ​​were statistically processed, obtaining the main results when determining that zone 5 comprised of Santa Elena, Guayas, Bolívar, Los Ríos and Galápagos are the of greater production followed by zone 7 with a lower percentage, representing being the second largest item in the national economy, therefore, the main conclusions determine an economy dependent on the agricultural sector due to the economic contribution provided in the levels of production and exports in the Gross Domestic Product through the consolidation of economic and public policies for the Ecuadorian zones.
