Zusammenfassung (übersetzt): 
The article aims to evaluate the efficiency of quinoa production in Bolivia, identifying factors that influence production variability and the sustainability of the crop. The methodology employed includes a stochastic frontier analysis to measure producers' technical efficiency, as well as the relationship between inputs and production under different climatic conditions. The study's conclusions highlight the heterogeneity in production levels associated with producers' capacity for capital and operating investment, as well as their access to sustainable agricultural technologies. Moreover, labor does not always result in a proportional increase in production, suggesting the need to improve labor management. The identified levels of inefficiency are linked to proxy variables of sustainable production systems, which calls for policies that promote more modern agricultural technologies. Finally, a wide margin for efficiency improvement is identified, underscoring the importance of investing in training and technology. These recommendations aim not only to benefit producers but also to strengthen the crop's resilience and ensure the long-term viability of quinoa production in Bolivia.
