Great potential for cooperation in Costa Rica's agricultural sector
Farm owner Marco Zamora Alvarado, 77, and his family were busy brewing coffee on Monday afternoon hours before the arrival of a particularly distinguished guest from across the Pacific: Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Zamora Alvarado, who has five children and five grandchildren, has been growing coffee near San Jose, the Costa Rican capital, for five generations.
