Today, SWISSAID published a great article on the impact that cardamom farming is having in Colombia, they mention us, Merit Trade LLC, as their partners in the selling of the product here in the U.S. we would like to thank SWISSAID for all their amazing help, they have been instrumental in this effort to make of Colombian Cardamom a viable source of income for our farmers and our families.
Here's an excerpt from the article.
"By 2014, the processing plant must also be ready for 180 land labourers, who will find temporary work here. With the support of SWISSAID, the farmers’ association has negotiated a supply contract with American company, Merit Trade, an enterprise which already exports cardamom from a neighbouring region. The company contributes half of the building costs for the processing plant, while the farmers and SWISSAID fund the rest. The objective of the farmers’ association is to retain most of the added value on site. In the medium-term, the farmers plan to be self-financing thanks to processing the spice."
