Valencia (the capital), and its port, Puerto Cabello, 56 km/34 mi to the north, are the principal cities. Valencia is the second most important city in Venezuela. Carabobo is an agricultural area; its chief products are cotton and sugar cane; other crops include tobacco, rice, cacao, citrus fruits, and corn.
