The Aragua River is a South America river in Aragua State, Venezuela. The river flows from the northern part of the state into the endorheic Lake Valencia, and is the lake's main tributary. [1]

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.[ citation needed ] 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]
