In Venezuela, from the period 2008 - 2010, it was considered among the fruit trees that had the largest cultivated area and production volume, being one of the few crops in which there was an increase of 122% in its harvested area, but since then yield has been diminished due to the lack of agronomic practices, which disadvantage productivity
of cultivation (MAT, 2010).
