Ben?tez also mentioned organic banana and cacao, exports in which the country leads worldwide, as well as canned kidney beans, fresh or refrigerated cucumbers or tomatoes and gherkins, vegetable juices and extracts, ornamental plants, fresh, vegetable oils, bananas, wines, mixtures? prepared and conserved fruits, cigarettes and nutritional preparations.
