Capital Region, Venezuela

In the 1970s, it formed, together with the states of Carabobo and Aragua, the so-called North-Central Coastal Region.

[citation needed] The region is dominated by mountainous forms, belonging to the central section of the Coastal Range.

This brings as consequence the increase of the population in this region due to the opportunity for the commercialization of products and the offer of jobs.

Despite the fact that the capital of the country is located in this region, a part of the primary sector that has survived is predominant, such as cocoa planting in the areas of Barlovento in the state of Miranda.

The state of Miranda is the area of greatest agricultural activity in the region, highlighting the cultivation of cocoa, sugar cane, poultry and raising cattle and pigs.
