Aliar SA is consolidating an agro-industrial plan in Puerto Gaitan (Meta) via investment of US$130mil, explains company manager Jaime Lievano, the idea being to use the high plains locally for maize and soya, imitating successful Brazilian methods. The soil's acidity must be corrected and its aluminium levels must be reduced.
