PROJECT PRESENTATION
FIRA has a Supplier Development Program, which considers a strategy that allows producers to be integrated, achieving a reliable supply in volume and quality of its raw materials, through a work model aligned with FIRA's strategies for Financial Inclusion, Productivity and Sustainability.
It contemplates the integration of small producers to the market with the assured purchase of their products, access to financing and increased production through technical assistance and training for sustainable production. This allows the integration of small producers, both women and men, located in highly marginalized areas to improve their living conditions and helping them be part of SMEs in the future.
This project aims to strengthen 12 thousand small coffee producers and its main goal is to position coffee production in Mexico as the engine of the social economy in the coffee regions.
