This study investigates the production and reproduction of capital among wholesale merchants in the province of Tungurahua. Therefore, it focuses on understanding how these social actors accumulate various capitals throughout their work, such as economic, cultural and social. At the same time, it analyzes how these strategies are produced and reproduced in their family environments. Through these resources they strengthen their businesses and improve their living conditions in a certain economic and social context. Through this analysis, it is based on the sociological theory of Pierre Bourdieu, which provides a conceptual framework to examine the strategies, practices, habits, behaviors and behaviors that traders use to maintain and reproduce their position in the market. In the same way, aspects such as educational training and the development of technical skills are investigated as forms of capital, which are used for the conversion of capital. Additionally, it explores how social and professional networks facilitate the mobilization of resources and the creation of business opportunities. This is why social and cultural structures; and social spaces, are also considered important determinants that influence the social reproduction strategies of wholesalers. The findings of this research have significant implications for understanding the social and economic dynamics of the country's wholesale markets
