Fresh Del Monte Produce and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) have joined forces to develop a three-year multi-stakeholder partnership with local organizations, government agencies, communities, and subsidiaries to maximize the use of natural resources and ensure the sustainability of landscapes in Costa Rica and Guatemala.
The partnership aims to continue to restore productive landscapes, boost the economic development of communities that have been impacted by COVID-19, conserve water resources in watersheds, and provide education for the sustainable development in neighboring lands surrounding Fresh Del Monte’s banana and pineapple farms in Costa Rica and Guatemala. Currently, 25% (10,000+ hectares) of Fresh Del Monte’s farmland has been set aside for conservation efforts benefiting more than 200 Fresh Del Monte collaborators.
