We had some Ganino pecerreantes to participate in tours of performing exchange FIDER, Galicia and the ESF-80 families benefiting from the project that formulated around the river SASL. And after closer ties with other cooperation projects, preparing the logistics to distribute invitations for accuracy and contract carriage ... we were there!
The first of these two tours cafetaleiras, forty invited each one was characterized by the difficulties that had the route. Despite the power of typical bus mechanics and use of chains, a Pasino went back and two forward because of mud, stones and streams.
But finally we arrived at La Naranjo, where we begin to meet the explanations of producers, father and son, and of Augustus and Franklin, technical project that funds the USDA in seven northern counties.
then warned that the high transparency that surrounds this mountainous area throughout the year enabled us to maintain a low level of shade in Guinea. Also take note of how took the opportunity to sow maize (and later frijol and Canavalia) in furrows parallel to the small newly planted coffee.
Benefit wet coffee This was an example of intensive cultivation of coffee, high-tech and high-input. Our parish met with interest and thought put into the upcoming planting nurseries that take months Agarimo.
both technical producers are proud of coffee production, the Nicaraguan presumed to be the second best in the world (after Colombia), and not in escatiman advice: Caiado the annual control pests, pepena, pruning, deshijada, ground cover ...
also warns that the random use of fertilizers may be a waste of time and dollars if it does not know the characteristics of their land, which recommended investment in soil analysis. And the use of non-targeted herbicides such as glyphosate can poison our plant.
After refrixerio expected to close in the first scale that contains 10,000 almácigo Template coffee that had never felt so observed:
The second stop on deixábanos Mancotal, closer Lake Apana, a cooperative that grows coffee organic. Far had been the chemical smell. Our producers and production companies showed puzzled over that unconventional type of cultivation, with whom they are familiar. Thus began to forge the collective comparative analysis of both systems, a debate that lasted the rest of the journey. The proposed contrast between conventional and organic chemical takes effect:
The grandchildren of the owner of this land had a careful forest shade in different heights for coffee, and the floor was full of organic fertilizer. They recognized that the production was lower than conventional, but they were very pleased por outra banda gastaban ben pouco en insumos. Só empregaban cal, cinza, humus... e nadiña de químicos. Nen sequera praguicidas, pois o temido insecto da 'broca' é combatido cunhas trampas de alcol que espertaron a curiosidade dos ribeiráns do Sasle:
Tamén espertou interese o módulo de lombricultura para fabricar lombri-humus, pois é unha das incorporacións que imos obter na Fase III do noso Proxecto:
Así e todo, saímos gratamente sorprendidos polas bondades do sistema ecolóxico que alí se traballa, cunhas plantas que producen durante o triplo de anos (Between 15 and 20) than the conventional ones, and even we started careful not to stain anything, will not be an inspection remove the seal that allows our hosts successfully commercialize this organic Fairtrade coffee.
Finally, after detallarnos costs and revenues to give them organic coffee, members of the Cooperative Agricultural Mancotal amosáronnos their communal house, where he deepened the virtues of working together and export the good price, as the case of carrying out social work in their community:
Now the ball is on the roof the inhabitants of the river microcunca Sasl: some will be able to form cooperative agriculture (organic or not) the new cafetaleiros of SASL and Los Horcones?

another order of things, at the end of the day delivered the kind of guides tailored to the capabilities gender communities. And the evening was coming to the houses and the leaves went, and the drawings were taking color, while apagaba day among the coffee-scented dreams.
