Small Farms Reach New Markets

The project emerged as a response from a family dedicated to agriculture that, for many years, had to work extensively throughout the months to obtain products. When they arrived to the traditional market or central supply center, the oversupply generated by having only one marketing channel and the concentration of harvest in the region caused the fruit of their work to lead to losses. The producers requested credits from specialized agriculture banks; due to bad business results, they could not pay and were left with big debts and commitments. As a result, the producers decreased their cultivations. In addition, the new generations did not want to participate in the traditional business and migrated to the cities, leaving a population of older adults in the Colombian countryside.

The project benefits mothers who are heads of household, families, and young people who did not see in the country an opportunity either to get ahead or to have a stable job. As such, it is a proposal that bets on the Colombian countryside for equity and a concept of justice in business.

The innovation and impact that the project is causing among the women farmers of the municipality of Boyaca made Comproagro one of the winning initiatives of the RECON Peace in Motion award, which rewards citizen initiatives that promote peace and reconciliation in Colombia.
