Coffee farmer welcomes Xi

Great potential for cooperation in Costa Rica's agricultural sector

Farm owner Marco Zamora Alvarado, 77, and his family were busy brewing coffee on Monday afternoon hours before the arrival of a particularly distinguished guest from across the Pacific: Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Zamora Alvarado, who has five children and five grandchildren, has been growing coffee near San Jose, the Costa Rican capital, for five generations.
