NC industry questions that haunt me

I might just be talking out of my ass completely, but- From what I know, true Corojo only grows in the Jalapa Valley of Nicaragua. It wasn't until recently (I think) that tobacco growers have developed a corojo that will grow in other places (kinda like a corojo look-alike). Corojo has only become abundant enough now that we see it in many cigar blends (that is, the new "engineered" corojo, not the stuff originally grown in the Jalapa Valley.)

Atleast that was my reasoning. If anyone know about corojo, please chime in!
