Keep buyingIt is then, when an employee of the post office of the municipality of Monción, begins to carry in the trunk of his car, along with the correspondence that he has to take to Santiago, cassava cakes for which he sought an outlet by selling them to individuals and to some businesses that I did errands. On one of those trips, when sales were increasing, he found an electric motor on the road, and he immediately thought of setting up a cassava factory where he could use that motor to grind cassava and thus produce more. He resigned from his job at the post office and set out to industrialize cassava.
On July 16, 1976, he started a humble company with four clay burins, an electric mill, and a stick and stone press. He presented his product packed in yellow paper from grocery stores.
This is how NICOLAS ALMONTE became the pioneer of the industrialization of cassava. He was looking for new ways of accommodation and performance in the milling of cassava, the extraction of bitter juice, for the preparation of catibia, he invented the cement iron, gas iron and the use of the electric motor in the manufacture of cassava.
The cassava industry has been developing little by little and, today, cassava has become a favorite dish in all environments both in the country and abroad.
Today, for more than twenty years Casabe Guaraguanó, C. por A. has remained the leading company in the manufacture of the best cassava, with its world brand CASABE GUARAGUANO whose name comes from the indigenous chief who ruled the town at that time, today called Monción.
With our initiative, today the municipality is known as the Capital of Casabe.
