Like people, each country has unique characteristics. Many countries are known by the products they produce. These products are anything from foods and minerals to plants and buildings. Here are what a few countries are known for.
Sri Lanka is well known for its Ceylon tea. The country exports more black tea than any other nation. Ceylon was the country’s name when it was a British colony. In the 19th century, Sri Lanka was famous for its coffee. But most of its coffee plantations were destroyed by insects in the 1870s. It was during this time Britain started the tea plantations.
When people think of Bulgaria, they often say " Rosova Dolina," which means " the valley of roses. " During the rule of the Turkish Empire, the Bulgarian rose became widely popular. Bulgaria produces 80 percent of the world’s roses. Bulgaria also produces rose oil and rose perfume. The country even has rose juice. In fact, people long ago believed that the Greek gods gained immortality by drinking elixir made with roses. To make one 500-milliter bottle of rose juice, 50 roses are needed.
Ghana’s cacao beans were used to make drinks for the rich during ancient times in Central A-merica. Later, a special kind of cacao was brought to Ghana from Brazil in 1824. Known as the po-rastero cacao, it made up 80—90 percent of all cacao produced. The cacao is flat and dark purple. It has a bitter and sour taste. Ghana’s chocolate has also gained international acclaim.
It is difficult to say where cheese first came from. What we do know is that the Swiss made cheese long before Jesus was born. Cheese then was used as currency in Switzerland and represented social status and wealth. In the fourth century, cheese was internationally introduced and quickly became popular. There is an unusual story about how fondue came about. Long ago, the Swiss living on the mountains were confined to their homes because of a large snowstorm. Cheese, wine and bread were the last food they had left. They melted the cheese with wine and ate the bread with it.
Farmlands are plentiful in Argentina, so the country can grow many kinds of crops. The crops are used to feed its numerous livestock. The invention of refrigerator ships has made exporting of meats safer and easier. Argentina jumped at the opportunity to increase meat exports. Without refrigerator ships, the meat could get contaminated while travelling long distances.
