This research addresses the challenge of increasing peanut butter consumption in Colombia, led by Manitoba, a company that dominates the local market. While this product is widely consumed in countries like the United States, where it is part of the basic food basket, its penetration in Colombia remains limited. The study analyzes the barriers and motivations of Colombian consumers, including factors such as lack of product knowledge and integration into daily diets. Based on these insights, innovative strategies are proposed, including educational campaigns, the development of new products, and targeted promotions. Results from experimental tests suggest significant potential for category growth, strengthening Manitoba's position as a transformative leader in the national market.
