Abstract
This article describes the process of constructing a model of the geographic information management for the cultivation of oil palm in Colombia. Due to the need to collect, store, update, and analyze data from planted areas in the country, it was necessary to rely on the soft systems model to propose an information system structure that would respond to the needs of accounting for planted areas and to be able to integrate such information with other strategic data for the oil palm sector. This research developed a database model on which the geographic data related to the Colombian planted area of palm oil has been stored for over ten years. The geographic model has allowed creating new information at various territorial scales, integrated with phytosanitary data important for regional crop management. The integration of a web-based platform has positioned the oil palm cadastre as a consultation service for users working in various roles in the oil palm industry, as a reliable geographical bank of information, available to other oil palm project agribusinesses.
