We arrived very early, and we think that everything is really beautiful”, said Neide, adding that this year she had convinced the husband, Leo, to come to Expodireto Cotrijal. He had already heard a lot about the fair, but he still did not know it. What can be found in the area of seeds was what more attracted the interest of the couple of producers of Cotrijal.
