We begin with our Bulletin

Agricabv S.A. began this social program as a project 5 years ago with the support of Level Ground Trading trough their Executive President Hugo Ciro and our General Manager Pedro Rodriguez. Hugo is a Colombian visionary that believes in the Agricabv model, Thanks for trusting us !!!

This alliance is born from the necessity and the social sensibility of booth actors of making the activity of coffee growing a profitable, dignifying, fair and sustainable one.

Today this project has turned into as full time program and forms an important part of corporative social responsibility policy of the company also imparted by its institutional partners.

Yrma Montaño, is responsible for this social program, she does not only work with us in this remarkable labor, but is a coffee producer as well and has firs hand knowledge of the necessities of our coffee providers.

In this past year of 2007, Intelligentsia Coffee & Tea Inc. has been incorporated into this program through their Vice- president Geoff Watts with whom (from the beginning) common ground was found in working with social responsibility with coffee growers. Thank you Geoff for believing in us!!!
