model crisis a exporter

Venezuela is one of the poorest countries of Hispanic America with an agricultural export economy that tends to monoproduction with long periods of stagnation and continuous ups and downs. The trend is maintained when monoexportación coffee cultivation is predominant. The production and export of coffee is expanding rapidly since the mid-nineteenth century and becomes dominant with respect to cocoa, even though it is recovered in the last decades of the nineteenth century.

In our opinion along these five centuries, Venezuela has gone through two basic models: the agro-mineral exporter and exporter. Economists, sociologists and other students of our social process defined models, these views are respected but our view are variations that do not affect the highlights of each of these two models elements.
