Thanks to this project, 200 people and 50 families from the Nasa indigenous community, from the La Cilia or La Calera reserve, are in the process of replacing illicit crops with blackberries, promoting their commercialization for the production of Hit soft drinks by Postobón.
It is a high-impact initiative because it not only promotes the economic development of the area, but also contributes to positive social transformation and the building of territorial peace.
High-quality coffee produced by 103 smallholder coffee farmers from Miranda. Incauca has provided support for their participation in fairs and for the commercialization of their products in the internal store. In 2023, a diagnosis was conducted to prioritize actions for their development.
Incauca has supported 90 coffee producers with training in good agricultural practices and inputs for their production units, and strengthened a revolving fund to help them access loans within the organization, fostering cooperativity.
It also improved the infrastructure of the production facility located in Miranda.
Located in Miranda, Agroindustria Cacaotera S.A.S. has received support from Incauca for the purchase of new packaging and product promotion through audiovisual materials. Since 2022, its products have been available in Incauca’s Mi Tienda Ingeniosa.
Incauca promoted the training of 90 cacao producers in good agricultural practices, in addition to providing inputs and activating a revolving fund to access loans within the organization. It improved the Chocotonga cacao processing plant.
This project is an example of the positive impact that these types of initiatives have on labor inclusion. Through this educational program, carried out in conjunction with SENA, 28 women were certified in the use of agricultural machinery.
Their success stories reflect our commitment to reducing the gender gap in the labor and social spheres, recognizing the valuable contribution of women in the sector and providing them with the necessary opportunities for personal and professional development.
Of the 28 women we certified in machinery use with Formación Providencia, it is important to note that 14 currently work at Incauca as harvest assistants or harvesters.
Thanks to these positive results, a second cohort of 18 more women trained by SENA in tractor maintenance has now been formed and is expected to join Incauca professionally.
This is an initiative that since 2022 has opened a window of opportunities for small producers to market their products within the Mill, be visible, recognized, and, above all, contribute to their economy through product sales.
The event is part of Asocaña’s Rural Commitment program, and in addition to the ventures from neighboring municipalities, the Mill’s employees have also had the opportunity to share their business ideas.
We stimulate the economy and contribute to food security for the communities of the Unión Yarú Community Council in Padilla, through technical training, support with seed capital (productive units), and integration into fairs and farmers’ markets.
40 people were certified in the first cohort, and with the establishment of the productive units, the average monthly income of the families increased.
The second cohort will begin in the second half of 2025. This concludes with a total of 79 beneficiaries and 79 productive units.
