The plantain pseudostem (PP), is the non woody stem generated as residue during the plantain harvesting practices. According to the FAO, Colombia is the second producer of plantain worldwide (Scott Padam, Seng Tin, Yee Chye, & Ismail Abdullah, 2012). The 87% of the total amount harvested is produced under an associated scheme, with other crops such as coffee, cacao and cassava, among others. Mainly by small producers with small lands (less than 5 hectares). The PP is the principal residue representing the 50% of the total biomass associated with plantain crop. The estimated production for 2011 was 1.699.137 ton in 209.931 hectares being the 16.4% of the total area destined to permanent crops. Approximately 268000 people are related to plantain harvesting activities. Based on a biorefinery scheme, was evaluated the transformation of PP into citric acid, ethanol and xilitol to propose a return profit scheme under public policy scheme. In this work, three scenarios were evaluated in order to find the one that presents the best profit margin. Then, based on the best performance were evaluated two different cases in which the raw material costs were assessed considering the transport cost and an associated cost to transport and a production bonus.
