APPTA is an organization registered in the Register PUBLIC, section of associations in File 2930, which was founded on June 28, 1987 and is composed of 1,200 small os producers and producers of cant n de Talamanca and the southern sector of Lim n cant n. M s of 80% of its members belong to ind nous reserves Bribri, and Kek Cabecar ldi in Talamanca cant n ind gena and the reserve Tayn in n cant Lim n, the remainder is composed of descendants and descendants white. The function main n APPTA to been to serve as a channel for marketing of na its members through which they sell cocoa, bananas, pl tano coconut araz, carambola and other futas products that are produced in cal agroecol systems form ancestral of production n where n is the different crops planted in my area and shade of fruit and forest trees. All these products have certification n org nica and fair trade. In its business strategy APPTA sells products as raw materials in different pa industrialized countries; cocoa has a gap alt ny demand and low production is sold in dry grain, powder, butter and liquor as in Switzerland, Italy and USA, bananas sold in the domestic market for fresh consumption along with methane and other pl Automercados products and puree production n, n is also in industrialized pur, concentrated and dried juice products recently began exporting to USA, France, England, Switzerland and Germany; The carambola araz and ourselves as we process and export frozen fruit to Switzerland and marketed by a Swiss company called Oroverde GMBH. N The industrialization of products made possible through partnerships with Cocoa Products, Finmac, and Florida Tropical Apiary Products, necessary process but nothing f cil. In this brief description of the organization n one should not forget that about 40% of the membrec to APPTA are women, which is no coincidence since both Bribris as Cab cares have a social structure based on matriarchy, by n which the participation of women is not only in quantity but also in quality n as president and vice president of the Board of APPTA n is in the hands of women and as well as other important functions of the organization. The present project is to develop the site where we are processing pulps araz and carambola as it is currently an open galleries that n m not meet the minimum conditions required by the rules of food production n. N This project is build the walls, a login area for staff with bath and dressing will be put up a reception area to put n of product and build a rea quir fano type air conditioner, floor cer mica, tiled walls and pulping the end product package that allows proper hygiene and safety and ceiling insulation is PONDR with zinc sheets below. (see Annex I in detail the work to be performed). The objective of this project is to contribute to maintaining agrobiodiversity to increase the production area n agroecol logic and improve the income of small farmers and agriculturalists of the Talamanca region n promoting and enhancing the n production, industrial processing and marketing of tropical fruits grown Nicaraguan org ancestral agroecol cal systems of the inhabitants of Talamanca. This project is a must to keep the market for products grown in agroecol logically n ancestral production systems and to affect focal areas: Biodiversity, as are systems that allow themselves sima alt biodiversity, but in addition to be s No permanent production systems contribute to maintaining forests as people have no need to be cont ndolos to survive. - Forest Ecosystems OP3 - OP13 Conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity important to agriculture Estrat Zone Priorities: Enhancing the sustainability of protected areas, Promoting Biodiversity in Productive Landscapes and Sectors, ny RESTRICTIO generation n pr best practices in the care Emerging and recurrent issues on Biodiversity.
