“It has been a great achievement to resume the export of this item and continue to encourage local production,” Rodríguez said.
This is the second export of green coffee that the State Executive has processed with the company Alimentos FBF, through the Foreign Trade Company of Lara CA (Emcoex) and the Intermodal Terminal Dry Dock Jacinto Lara. The first dispatch was completed just ten days ago.
So far in 2021, distribution has exported 196 containers with 4,833 tons of mung beans, black beans, cookies, and now coffee, in 36 operations sent to 11 nations including India, Vietnam, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, the Philippines, Turkey, Singapore, Hong Kong, Dominican Republic, and United States.
