Hydroponic Farming -
Angelo Moscariello Basile
My name is Angelo Moscariello Basile. I am a 43 years old entrepreneur living in Venezuela. I studied business administration at La Salle University graduating class of 86. From 1986 to 1999 y managed the family business which was a retail tire store. Even though I had some success with the business I decided to close it in 1999 and began to look for a new line o business. The possibility of living in a farm working with hydroponics, aquaponics and rising cattle attracted my attention and ever since I dedicated my efforts to fulfill that goal. In that line of thought I presented a project to the Venezuelan government in February 2006 and was selected one of the finalists in April 2007. At the present I already have a farm at my disposal which belongs to an associate and I am looking for financial assistance to start developing the farm.

Profesional experience
• I managed my own business. This was a small retail tire sales shop that was established by my father, Ernesto Moscariello, back in 1961 at Maracay city. When I began to work in this business in 1986 the business was bankrupt due to the financial crisis that affected Venezuela in 1983. We were a Firestone distributor and Firestone just did not sell tires to us anymore. I then decided to work as an employee in 1987 in a firm called Envases Venezolanos established in Maracay city. I was the international purchasing manager of the firm which has four factories. I purchased machinery, spare parts and raw materials to produce glass products, soft soda aluminum cans, plastic cups, paper cups, and metal containers for food and oil paints. I left Envases Venezolanos in 1988 after working for only 9 moths and went to work back in the tire business. I became a Pirelli distributor in 1989 and by the end of 1993 I was ranked 7th in total sales of truck tires in Venezuela for Pirelli. I continued the business until 1999 when I closed it for the same reason I had to close it in 1986. Pirelli just changed its sales policy and it was impossible to sale Pirelli tires anymore.
