  We propose a two component model for charmed baryon production in $pp$
collisions consisting of the conventional parton fusion mechanism and
fragmentation plus quarks recombination in which a $ud$ valence diquark from
the proton recombines with a $c$-sea quark to produce a $\Lambda_c^+$. Our
two-component model is compared with the intrinsic charm two-component model
and experimental data.
