How can I center minipage text and adjust pgf-pie text

Question

I am using minipage to divide a figure into two positions, on the left I have a figure made with pgf-pie that I would like the large text to be able to write outside and in the case of the text I would like it to be in the center (for please see the image)

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[spanish]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{pgf-pie}
\begin{document}
\section{example}
\hrule
\begin{figure}[!h]
    \begin{minipage}[b]{0.3\textwidth}
        \caption{Example}\label{fig:ex1}
        \begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.7]
            \pie[/tikz/nodes={text=white, font=\footnotesize\bfseries},
            text=inside,
            explode={0.1,0.1,0.1,0.1},color={blue!70,cyan!70,red!70,orange!50}]{9.3/Cedro\rojo, 19.45/Café, 30.4/Cacao, 40.43/Tornillo }
        \end{tikzpicture}
    \end{minipage}\hfill\vrule\hfill
    \begin{minipage}[b]{0.6\textwidth}
        vallis augue. Etiam facilisis. Nunc elementum fermen-
        tum wisi. Aenean placerat. Ut imperdiet, enim sed
        gravida sollicitudin, felis odio placerat quam, ac pul-
        vinar elit purus eget enim. Nunc vitae tortor. Proin
        tempus nibh sit amet nisl. Vivamus quis tortor vitae
        risus porta vehicula.
    \end{minipage}
\end{figure}
\hrule
\end{document}

remember to check the other answers on the forum and it appears to be unsupported. forum

To vertically centre the text, use [c] instead of [b] (or just remove the option) — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Feb 02 '24 at 17:52
Your code does not compile. There is a missing } after the section — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Feb 02 '24 at 17:53
Can you please not ask multiple unrelated questions in a single post? — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Feb 02 '24 at 17:53
@samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz hello, thanks, It was on both minipages to make that change b by c — royer, Feb 02 '24 at 18:21
My main problem is now with pgf-pie, please I need your help — royer, Feb 02 '24 at 18:22

Using the [b] option you force your minipages to be bottom aligned. If that's not what you want, don't use this option
you could manually add the text outside of the pie chart using a normal tikz node
