High tunnelsare the main technological incorporation in strawberry cultivation in the last years in the area of Coronda (Santa Fe). The objective of the present work was to evaluate an investment project of one hectare of high tunnels compared to the traditional structure of micro tunnels. Based on the methodology of the formulation and evaluation of projects at a breakeven point of 15% and 10 years, the cash flow was elaborated following an incremental criterion, high tunnels vs. micro tunnels. The obtained NPV was $ 1,986,581 and an IRR of 107.5%, acceptable criteria to confirm the appropriateness of the investment. At least the additional production of the high tunnel should be an additional 2.369 kg with respect to the micro tunnels to justify the investment, with the repayment period of 2 years
