La Agroindustria de la Palma de Aceite como referente en la sustitución de cultivos ilícitos en la zona del Catatumbo.

Abstract

The main objective of this monographic research is to analyze the economic, social and progressive impact of the agro-industry of the palm sector in the department of Norte de Santander, more precisely in the area of Catatumbo, since this is an agricultural activity as an example to follow in the substitution of illicit crops in the region, given its great productive benefit; since it has different uses in the food agro-industry. For this reason, in this work we intend to analyze the whole productive process, from the agricultural part (field) to the industrial sector (machinery) in order to identify in a theoretical way the factors that allow to potentiate its development and therefore to orient these strategies towards other agricultural activities of the region to gradually substitute the illicit crops that are promoted in these zones. Likewise, the entire agro-industrial operational development of the process of extracting oil palm derivatives, its uses in biofuels for the minimization of polluting particles and its commercialization in the market economy will be analyzed. Consequently, a theoretical decomposition will be made, starting from the political analysis to the cultural part, in order to interpret the problems (causes) of the region, and in some way propose certain solutions (recommendations).
