Champa

a state founded in the second century AD. by the Chams, a people of Indonesian stock, in what is now central Vietnam. Champa was apparently at first a slave-holding state; the development of feudal relations began in the fifth century. The Chams irrigated the land for rice cultivation and were engaged in trade and shipbuilding. Their handicrafts were highly developed. Their architecture and religious sculpture show a close relationship to the art of South India and Java, and written monuments of the fifth century based on South Indian graphic art are known.

Champa acknowledged its vassalage to China in the fifth century. Beginning in the 11th century, as a result of wars with the Vietnamese state of Dai Viet, Champa’s borders were gradually moved south. Dai Viet dealt Champa a decisive blow in 1471.

Este es el caso de la champa que, aunque es una especie que recientemente se esta introduciendo en los mercados nacionales de Colombia, tiene alto potencial de comercializacion, principalmente por su agradable sabor y aroma, que generan gran aceptacion entre los consumidores en cualquiera de sus presentaciones o productos derivados (jugos, cremas, mermeladas, licores, helados, dulces, entre otros), situacion que la puede hacer competitiva frente a otras frutas (ALVAREZ-HERRERA et al., 2009a; BALAGUERA-LOPEZ et al., 2009; LOPEZ y RODRIGUEZ, 1995).
