Environmental Profile Figure 3. Soil Types Polotitln Township

Pedological structure Polotitln Township, exhibits

four soil

unitsthat

helps

determine the potential economic urban place. These units are: Planosol, Vertisol, Litosol and Feozem The vertisol also present in large proportion and occupies 25.82%

of municipal territory this soil is used for the development of agriculture as they are also fertile and highly productive.

According to above we can explain that the soil in the municipality, has the right conditions for the development of the project, and specifically, for the cultivation of cactus, since these soils are characterized by their high ability to agricultural development.

Economic Profile In the following table, we observe a decrease of 16.32 percentage points of the primary activities (21.66%) compared and to secondary economically and tertiary active

sector (37.98%) considering

population of 3686 inhabitants and population of 168 Unemployed Economically Inactive people. Table 2. Employed Population by Municipality sectors Polotitln Polotitln Occupied Population Percent Sector I Sector II Sector III

Based on some projections we could determine that by the year 2030, the economically active population will be 14, 818 people and will represent a scenario taking into account possible about 80.63% of the total population, this also implies the need for a great job, in order to meet the needs of

the population and achieve economic and social development. Figure 12000 4. projections of population by sector of the municipality Polotitlan
