Bio-diversity

The Ind gena Cab territory Chirrip car is cre in the or through the law 6172 1976. It has an extension n of 76.200 ha., with a population of approximately 8500 people, distributed in 27 communities of the ethnic Cab car. Agricultural activities are mainly the cultivation of beans, ma z, cassava, bananas, the pejibaye and the cr to pigs and poultry. All these crops are made under a sustainable integrated model, where the production org nica is based, due to conditions both cultural as econ micas. The characteristics territorial of mixed woodland, areas agr tails, surrounded by diversity of conditions of relief expressed by a topograf with steep slopes, easy vehicle access dif asses and social services, make this area present a different condition in relation to the rest of the pa s. This regi n there are approximately 150 producers of beans org nico and are grown between 250 and 500 has. This depending on the environmental conditions, as is the direct production impact lies in this group of families, is considered that total benefit you can see some 800 people directly and indirectly around 250 people, on the other hand is considered that even when there are registered these 150 producers in general within the territory, all produced for self-consumption as also for Exchange by species. Generally, obtained crop producers selected the best seed for the pr maximum sowing and the amount required for subsistence, the surplus is sold retail through intermediaries located in Grano de Oro. Also the seed is funded by the program challenges or the institution IMAS, which in 2005 or the distributed 32 CWT with Advisor to the Agricultural Sector (CNP, MAG),. that as in the previous crop was given a p substantive reduction in production. Due to problems of commercialization of the harvest of beans presenting ind gena community, will form in 1997 the intersectoral committee mico of the Ind reserve for development based genetic Chirri - Turrialba (CIIT), formed by institutions p public and organizations related to the Ind reserve non-governmental gena. This centr comit your gesti n to build the collection Center to allow producers of the Ind reserve bean gena, receive a fair price for their crops. This management n the home the Asociacin Ind Namaho gena. However because they lack people have to jur sta dica, negotiations were carried out through the Cab ADIRI Chirrip car. The project consists in the equipment of the Center and in second case the establishment of a channel of marketing of the bean org nico produced in the reserve Ind Chirrip gena. This allow the reduction in the levels of intermediation and that ind genas producers receive a fair price for the marketed product, as well as to support a productive activity agr tail which is consistent with the proper use and management of soil and environment in general. The requested funding allowed the Center to start operating with equipment and a working capital that used to buy beans org nico ind genas producers, using an infrastructure built for that purpose, community moving at the same time the marketing of grain locally without the participation of intermediaries. The sale of beans org nico may be in bulk to Packers or as bean packaged under a brand. The resource econ mico who self-inject collection feasible har Centre purchase of the bean production org nico and revenues generated serve n to get the seed for the establishment of the new crops and keep the project from the business point of view, in the long run. In this project it is essential to achieve a financial mechanism that allow capitalizing funds through harvesting periods (two to the or demarcated stations) during periods in which there are sowings the ADIRI must incorporate earnings more the Fund awarded as in a certificate term working capital, while reactive harvest. Additionally the depreciation of assets, the financial cost must be analyzed so that the econ mico resource injection to be able to be sustainable. The ADIRI has the means to grow econ thermically its population, required is a base econ mica to reactivate the collection Center, the acquisition of equipment and the support of agencies and institutions that facilitate entry into markets with value added of the product, if possible with communal support. Intends to also with the present proposal to gica tecnol respond to the problem of the drying of the beans, fundamental element in the chain of post-harvest loss, this is lost between 25% to 100% cases by moisture in the seed. It should give a timely response to the fruit of the work of ind gena dont miss with this big problem, so as you study the case of the canopies of cocoa Dise adas in Talamanca and adapt them to the conditions of production of beans that will mitigate such an effect on the final sale of the grain. General objective to encourage the production org nica bean org nico covered community ind Chirrip gena for commercial purposes, as well as to support a productive activity agr tail which is consistent with the proper use and management of soil and environment in general. Objectives spec graphics 1. Provide the ADIRI Chirrip of teams in order to collect the beans org nico and market it directly. 2 strengthen the business, administrative and financial capacity and provide a marketing process for the placement of bean org nico in the domestic market. 3 provide the ADIRI Chirrip of a seed fund to be able to encourage the marketing of bean org nico steadily over time. 4
