Abstract

Venezuelan Guajira is a region with great opportunities for agricultural development; This is why it is proposed in this area to establish the cultivation of ecological or organic aloe vera as a way for the production of raw materials aimed at the cosmetological, pharmacological and nutraceutical industries, which would contribute to the development of the region.
