I am curious to know what is Bolivia's major business venture that forms the backbone of the economy. Would horticulture for example fluorish in such a country?

Mocochinchi(I love the name)is a town..sorry, one of Bolivia's traditional drinks. It is a dehydrated pitch cider and probably one of the most served beverages in Bolivia. Simple to make and sweet to the core, you can find it in any place in Bolivia.

Interestingly, in Spanish the word coco means 'buggers' but I assume there is no connection between the two. The drink can be found for sale in streets corners, parks and plazas.

Not much happening in this room.........

I guess big business would mean investing in coco or "buggers" and try to sell it outside somewhere in a foreign market where people appreciate tropical and exotic food and drink.

In many a culture, foreign food stuffs flourish mainly because the locals love to get a taste of something different, sometimes just the taste of something other worldly. Many around the world love to have their taste buds wowed and thrilled.

Okay, Moco = buggers? I see.

I need to brush up on my Spanish though. I am seriously lacking in that precise department.

Comment #7 Eve (63.176.159.190) - 12/03/09 20:18

Does anyone have any online locations that it would make sense for one check out concerning brushing up on Spanish? That would truly be awesome, thank you very much in advance, as well.

Comment #8 Eve (63.176.159.220) - 12/09/09 14:45

Please, if I may? Shall I beg for the information? I really am very interested, but I do not know if I would be able to get through.

Comment #9 Eve (63.176.159.55) - 12/15/09 18:55

Okay so I guess we are stuck in this position. No one is willing to assist a fellow human being with the learning of a new language? This is very much beside me, I must say.

Hi there.

I am moving to Bolivia in a couple of months and wondering about the best business to put up in the country. Please post here the best business that expats can put up in Bolivia. Thanks a lot guys. Hope to hear from all of you soon. Ciao.

Hmmm. Well I do not know what is the best business to put up in Bolivia, but I think nothing beats the food business. If you have passion over food and cooking, I bet this business would suit you. I also think that people would go for restaurants once in a while so it is best if you hit this market. You just have to study things up and decide what business to make.

Comment #12 Shiela (63.176.159.69) - 02/11/10 19:27

Quite a good idea there Alicia. It is true that food business is a hit. But you certainly have to consider several things to make the business work well. And in food business, well probably in all other kinds of business, you have to think of the location, the market and the customer. You cannot just put up an establishment without considering all of this. Have a good day guys.

Food business blows the world off the map. Without it, we would all suffer a lot more than one may even be able to fathom. Just imagine living in a world that has gone abruptly without food business. Imagine this happening today, or the next day. What would people begin to do? Farming is most certainly the key to this issue, but beside that, what can one do?
