Agriculture
The Aragua River irrigates a vast valley, enriching it with fertile deposits that make its soil one of the most fertile in the country. Sugarcane is the chief produce of the region, and potatoes have yielded high commercial returns. The valley is also known for crops like cacao, coffee, cotton, corn, rice, and tobacco.[2]
