A protocol signing was made yesterday the management of the Coffee Growers Federation, the Caldas Coffee Growers Committee and the Anserma Mayor’s Office to promote infrastructure and strengthen productive projects in that region.
The agreement was signed by the manager of the Federation of Coffee Growers, Germán Bahamón Jaramillo; the director of the Committee, Natalia Yepes Jaramillo, and the mayor of Anserma, Ómar Reina, for an amount close to $3 billion.
The commitment includes resources for fingerprint plates, maintenance of roads, aqueducts, renovation of coffee plantations, fertilization, and promotion of events such as the second fair: Anserma tastes like coffee, and the second roasted coffee contest.
At the meeting it was highlighted that the well-known grandmother of Caldas is the municipality that is investing the most resources in the incentive agreement for the renewal of coffee plantations with fertilizers and new promotion plans.
Even Reina asked the manager to set up a Juan Valdez café in the municipality to continue highlighting the quality of the grain and a refrigeration plant in the Margaritas area.
This is part of the project that Federacafé is studying so that the grain that is collected from some areas of the country for export does not have to make such long journeys to be preserved nor does it always have to reach areas such as the Letras sector, on the borders of Caldas and the Tolima.
