Central Venezuela Sugar Bowl
The largest sugar plant in Venezuela. AT
It is located in the town of Batey, which belongs to the small town of Caja Seca Sucre municipality of Zulia State, in the south of Lake Maracaibo,
It was constituted or formed May 16, 1913 in the state of Delaware, USA formed as a joint U.S. capital and the Venezuelan private sector, as a result of the action of the sugar company Venezuela Sugar Company, which later became known as Central Venezuela. In 1920 it was converted into a Venezuelan company.
The first harvest was in 1915. ![]()
During the harvest sugar cane is harvested from crops. 
In the middle of 1966 the company was bought by the Brillembourg family, which headed the company for 43 years and in 2009 it was expropriated like many other companies that had great strength and high production rate for the nation and now belongs to the Venezuelan state under the name of Sugar Agroindustrial Complex Venezuela. Today, like other companies that exown the socialist government, their production is minimal that is not enough to supply even the Zulia State itself. It is unfortunate to see how that great company that as a child admired and longed to grow up studying a university degree to enter the world of work is unleashed in such a way that it is almost in ruins.
In the town of Batey there is an emblematic icon and it is the monument that represents parts of the machinery that were once used for the production of sugar and other sugar cane derivatives such as molasses, others say it is a water pump, other theories is that this was the means they used at the beginning of the 20th century to bring the materials to work that a train arrived are said to have the rails where they passed.
