From Volunteer Pro-Cordillera, we are taking the first steps to form, within the framework of our projects in Rancho Arriba, a Civic Network Organic Consumers. The peasants, united in a Network of Small Organic Producers may sell their products at fair prices, and consumers can protect their health and also buy at fair prices, eliminating middlemen.
In the capital a ripe banana costs 5 pesos and farmers are paid at 20 cents. That's not fair, because despite the difficulties they face, with little or no support, they are the ones that support and nourish us. Large producers usually engaged to play the colonial model, producing for export.
These times of crisis invite to the union, with networks of producers and consumers contribute in building our food sovereignty.
