Claudio Corallo height - How tall is Claudio Corallo?

In December 1992, he moved to São Tomé and Príncipe where he started to cultivate cocoa, which was already under cultivation in the archipelago. Research about the varieties of cocoa, including its productions in Bolivia, confirmed that cocoa in São Tomé and Príncipe had a different quality. Through various tests he found that the bitterness was caused by processing failures, moisture storage and the country's equatorial heat. Different forms of tests of fermentation for a new cocoa paste were developed and he built a lab for roasting, peeling and rinding.

Corallo was born in the city of Florence, Italy. He trained as an agricultural engineer in 1974 at the Instituto Agronómico para o Ultramar (Institute for Overseas Agronomy).

He worked as a diver for a dredging company in Trieste and later for an Italian consulting company. In 1974, he went to what was now the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC); the government of Mobutu Sese Seko contracted him as an investigator and he offered technical assistance with small rural producers. He later bought 1,250 hectares of coffee plantations in the Lomela region. The region was difficult to access from Kinshasa, capital of today's DRC, using the Congo River as the only means of access. Claudio used a canoe that took two weeks to reach Lomela, but planned to build a boat, which he named the DB,1 to reduce travel time. With political changes in Zaire, he was forced to leave the country.

Claudio Corallo (born 1951) is an Italian businessman and an agricultural engineer. He resides in São Tomé and Príncipe. He created the chocolate and coffee refinery called "Claudio Corallo Cacao and Coffee".
