    Abstract: This study presents a study of technological surveillance of the exotic fruit pitaya as an economic
potential of Colombia&#146;s marginal regions. In this sense, the research was made from search equations in the
Scopus and Wipo databases. The study includes eight stages: scientific production, outstanding authors in
scientific production, countries with the greatest number of publications, outstanding institutions with
scientific production, patents production, main applicant countries, main applicant companies and patent
classes. Finally, the research shows the growing importance of economic activity during the 2010-2018 period,
based on the volume of scientific and technological information available in the databases.
