	Historia del Café en Venezuela
		The reasons for this stagnation of the sector are directly related to the abandoned state that the government has shown towards this activity.
		91% of the coffee plantations of the country are located in 39 hydrographic basins and 76 sub-basins in 13 states, where they fulfill a relevant role as an environmental growth that, planted under shade, recovers the biomass and improves soils by its loss of leaves.

		Every major power regarded the law as a threat to the interests of their nationals, the more so as Castro also began to address the issue of monopoly claims by foreign companies which had been granted, or more often, had bought out concessions in Venezuela from the individuals who were the original concessionaires.
		The hemispheric factor was that the United States was beginning to entrench itself in strategic areas of the Caribbean.
