Una planta ancestral con gran potencial economico la achira - TvAgro por Juan Gonzalo Angel

🌿 Achira: An Andean Treasure with High Agro-industrial Potential Achira (Canna indica) is an ancestral plant from the Andes that is now emerging as an economically viable and sustainable alternative for small-scale farmers. Its rhizome, rich in starch, is the basis of traditional products such as biscuits and breads in Huila and Tolima, and opens new possibilities in industries like cosmetics and bioplastics. Resistant, easy to cultivate on hillsides, and adaptable to diverse climates, achira also provides nutritional benefits due to its easy digestibility and its contribution to anemia prevention. In Colombia, research on its genetic varieties seeks to optimize yield and position it as an agro-industrial option capable of generating employment, added value, and foreign exchange for the country.
