| Title: | Peru - Local Productive Development Project in the Highlands and Rainforest of Peru (Avanzar Rural) – August 2022 |
| Description: |
The coffee-producing families in the settlement of Pacaypite, in the district of Jepelacio, Moyobamba, San Martín, did not have a water treatment system for coffee wastewater, which led to environmental contamination, especially of water sources and soil, generated by the acids produced during the coffee bean washing process. In response to this risk and with the support of the government's Avanzar Rural program, the Pacaypite Women Entrepreneurs Association has built 28 ponds for the treatment of wastewater. As a result, 24 cubic meters of wastewater from the washing of 14 tons of coffee were remedied. The Avanzar Rural Project is a priority in Peru’s Post-COVID 19 National Recovery Plan. It will improve family farmers’ productive capacity and access to markets in 101 districts of the Amazonas, Ancash, Cajamarca, Lima and San Martin departments. The project focuses on developing the competitiveness and resilience to climate change of family farmers, in particular women and youth, historically marginalized in economic decisions affecting rural communities. It also spreads the use of low-cost, efficient technologies for boosting productivity, accessing markets and mitigating climate change. Avanzar Rural will benefit 17,400 small agricultural producers organized in cooperatives, productive associations and their families, which represent a total number of 57,420 direct beneficiaries. |
