cocoa exhibitions
This cocoa and rum expo is a new initiative of the government of Miranda to promote this fruit, one of the main items produced in Miranda lands.
Previously, it has organized other meetings, such as the Expo Fair Express yourself with 100% Mirandino Chocolate, which was held for four days in the spaces of the fair level of the Sambil Shopping Center.
In this exhibition, more than 12 microentrepreneurs presented to visitors the variety of products in terms of confectioneries and desserts made with the entity's cocoa.
The Miranda Chapter National Cocoa Congress was another event to promote cocoa.
In this event, more than 80 cocoa producers and spokespersons from the six municipalities of the Barlovento region participated to build a workable route to strengthen and protect cocoa production, as well as the commercial transformation of the by-products of this fruit.
It was carried out in the facilities of the Territorial Polytechnic University of Barlovento Argelia Laya, located in Higuerote, Brión municipality.
And the II Cocoa Fair Expo was another meeting in which 50 chocolatier entrepreneurs from the Barlovento region exhibited their products made with this item in the Río Chico parish, in the Páez municipality.
The best cocoa in the country
On the other hand, since his tenure as governor, Rodríguez reported that there are plans with the cocoa-growing communes of Miranda to accredit Miranda as the state with the best cocoa in the country.
Since 2018, the Miranda government has implemented the Miranda Cacao Plan, which seeks to increase the production, marketing, distribution, and export of this item, which occurs mainly in the Acevedo, Pedro Gual, and Buroz municipalities of Barlovento in the state of Mirandino.
The main variety of cocoa grown on these lands is the Trinitaria, a natural hybrid of Creole and Forastero, so it is of very good quality, fine flavor and aroma.
In international markets, it is marketed in fermented form as Carenero Superior.
4 billion kg = 4 million tons of kg, that would be an outrageous production. Please correct and avoid such errors.
