Undp Helps The Production Of Organic Fruit In Colombia

Having endured a long civil war, the Magdalena Medio region of Northeastern Colombia is beginning to reap the sweet rewards of a collaborative effort in farming methods. Small farmers are working together with the United Nations Development Programme and local voluntary organizations to increase their income by growing fruit the organized way. Farmers are now able to diversify their crops and increase their productions. The building of a fruit processing plant and the formation of associations of organic fruit producers are helping the farmers to create prosperity for the region.
