One of the things you can see in the valley below from Jorge's cabin is 25 acres of recently constructed green houses that Del Monte has built with the intent of building a total of 175 acres under roof. They are now growing all kinds of vegetables in these climate controlled buildings for export.
Besides this they are also moving their pineapple processing plant from Hawai down here to Volcan which is just below Monte Verde and Santiago Springs. They hope to have all set up and ready to go within the next 24 mo. This is huge for our local industry! Between the green houses and the processing plant there will be employment for around 1,600 people!
