The Meta Department enjoys significant comparative advantages in many of its productive sectors, thanks to its natural wealth and the determination of its residents. The aquaculture sector is one of these sectors that exhibits great strengths in the region. Therefore, a group of students from Santo Tomas University in Villavicencio felt the need to commit to its development by establishing an interdisciplinary research group named 'ALQUIMISTAS.' This group consists of students from the faculties of International Business, Agricultural Business Administration, and Public Accounting. They are working within the research focus: 'Competitiveness analysis in strategic sectors of the region for international trade,' with a specific focus on the aquaculture supply chain. Their aim is to develop support tools for entrepreneurs in the tilapia subsector, as a potential export product.
