There is a latent problem in the agricultural sector in the cultivation of potatoes since it is not always profitable for farmers because its sale price not only depends on the amount of product offered in the market and the demand by the consumers but, of the possibility that they themselves carry out their commercialization. This aspect is analyzed in this research, whose objective was to explain the reasons why the commercialization of potatoes affects the economy of peasant families in the following provinces: Tayacaja (Huancavelica) and Huancayo (Junín). The research was of a basic type with a descriptive-explanatory level with a non-experimental-longitudinal design. The population was made up of 120 peasant families that produce and market potatoes from the provinces of Tayacaja and Huancayo, from which a sample of 91 families was drawn. Documentary analysis guides, bibliographic records and a questionnaire were used as instruments for the field work. It was found through the application of econometric models that 79% of the respondents accept that the sale price of the potato influences the economy of the peasant families of the provinces under study since it is very low and does not allow obtaining economic income and that the lack of storage of the potato to be commercialized affects the economy of the peasant families of these provinces because the product is lost and this generates economic damage
