Project description<\/h3>

In 1996, La Florida received the support of the Belgian NGO SOS-Faim and was among the first to see its coffee certified in 1998. In 2000, La Florida became a member of Philea which refinanced eleven agricultural campaigns for an average amount of USD 300,000. In 2021, La Florida experienced internal turbulence, calling into question its governance and management. This impacted its access to working capital loans from its partners, but the situation improved in 2022 with the appointment of a new board and chief executive.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
