In order to get the goal of this work the real options technique was applied to four technology-based investment projects from the coffee sector, it is most be mentioning that the four investment projects have cash flows corresponding to ten years each one. The real options technique was use, specifically applying the model developed by the authors Black & Scholes.

Present investi gation originality is that in Mexico real option methodology does not tend to be used as a rule, but for reasons of ease, traditional techniques are used, consisting of net present value, internal rate of return and recovery period. With the application of the real options methodology, a higher value was obtain than that obtained by applying the traditional technique, so it can be said that the real options favor reducing risk and uncertainty in projects for a better evaluation of these. Therefore, the use of real options is highly recommended, since real options technique gives greater certainty of the results of the traditional technique.
