The Rio Minero basin is located in the west province of Boyaca. It comprises nine municipalities very well known because of its mining exploitation. The agricultural production in this region is focused on fruits harvesting particulary citrus such as oranges and tangenines which are the economic base of small and medium farmers. This production system is similar to the non technifield traditional production of non fruit crops. Its marketing shows a high percentage of production losses as a result of inadequate post-harvesting management. However, fruit production shows an important potencial for implementing agroindustrial projects for juice production which will improve the development of the region.
