The story

Festival del Cafe de Biscucuy in Biscucuy

Biscucuy, a coffee town in the highlands of Portuguesa state, hosts the Expo Feria del Cafe each May at the Paseo Ferial, a trade and culture fair built around the more than 52,000 hectares of coffee grown in the surrounding hills and the growers who tend them.

Biscucuy sits in the upper, hillier reaches of Portuguesa state, a part of Venezuela better known nationally for flat llanos agriculture than for coffee, yet the surrounding zone carries more than 52,000 hectares under coffee cultivation and produced roughly 832,000 quintals in the 2024-2025 harvest.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Portuguesa state is one of Venezuela's significant coffee-producing regions, and its 2024-2025 harvest reached roughly 832,000 quintals, giving the Biscucuy fair real economic weight rather than purely folkloric value

02

The mystery stays covered

More than 40 stands typically fill the Paseo Ferial with roasters, growers, agroindustry suppliers, and machinery vendors, and the event is organized jointly by national and state authorities with the Biscucuy Chamber of Commerce specifically to connect small producers with buyers and to showcase agricultural equipment made in Venezuela alongside the coffee itself
