This strategy, which benefited 188 associations and impacted more than 9,000 producers in 115 municipalities and 18 departments, included a diagnosis, characterization and assessment of the organizations, a strengthening plan, a diploma course on production costs, digital literacy, agricultural marketing, achievement of commercial allies for associations with consolidated production processes, and some other benefits for each associative group, according to the needs and desires expressed throughout the process.
Ana Cristina Moreno Palacios, president of the ADR, stated: “We are happy because we know that this made sense. You were able to demonstrate a program that became a reality with public resources. As a country we have to continue building together, here there is an institutional framework that accompanies them. It will always be easier to talk about what we lack, but it is necessary to recognize the achievements that transform lives. This is one of them”.
