Acarigua: Agricultural and Commercial Hub of West-Central Venezuela
Acarigua, an important city in west-central Venezuela, is located in the heart of the state of Portuguesa, at the junction of the Andean foothills and the plains, and is one of the country's agricultural and commercial centers. The fertile alluvial plains surrounding the city have made it a major producer of sugar cane, corn, cacao, coffee and other crops, with a well-developed food-processing industry that has made it the "breadbasket of Venezuela". As a transportation hub connecting the western agricultural region with the rest of the country, Acarigua has a vibrant wholesale market and is particularly known for its agricultural trade. The local culture combines agricultural traditions with urban dynamism, and the annual Agricultural Fair is an important event in the region. Despite the economic challenges of recent years, the city's position as the economic center of the region has remained strong, continuing to attract population and commerce from the surrounding area.
