As part of the ninth China International Import Expo, through Venexporta, the Venezuelan Coffee Corporation and Rimar Roaster presented the domestic cultivation processes.
During the meeting, barista Rubén Meléndez guided the evaluation of five samples using the cupping method, according to a press release from Radio Miraflores.
In addition, the peak came with a Geisha batch evaluated at 91.03 points. The tasting included pairing with chilli margariteño and Civen and Delirio Chocolate chocolates. This achievement coincides with the first year of official coffee bean exports to China. The breakthrough was possible after obtaining the sanitary protocol and registration on the Cifer platform from Chinese customs.
During the fishing day, Fisheries and Aquaculture authorities met with Shanghai Foreign Trade Enterprises Co., Ltd. Vice Presidents Xu Mingxin and Joey Tang evaluated the purchase of Venezuelan lobster for the Longmen Food network.
The proposal seeks to turn domestic companies into direct suppliers of raw materials for the Asian distribution network.
