Since 2015, PT Bogor Kopi Indonesia (PT BKI) has been a pillar of support for Robusta farmers in Bogor, West Java. By providing essential resources such as processing facilities, access to finance, market connections, and capacity-building, PT BKI has played a crucial role in strengthening the local coffee community. In 2024, we’re excited to announce that PT BKI will receive its first-ever support from Progreso, including both Technical Assistance and Financial Assistance. This marks a significant milestone in our journey to elevate the region's coffee sector and amplify the impact of PT BKI’s ongoing efforts! ☕🌍 #ProgresoFoundation #BogorKopiIndonesia #RobustaCoffee #WestJavaCoffee #SustainableFarming #CoffeeCommunity #CapacityBuilding #CoffeeInnovation #StrongerTogether

Last week, the Progreso Team in Rwanda—featuring Jean Calliope and Viateur—alongside J. Dedieu, a consultant from Holland Greentech, had a productive meeting with the Kigembe Coffee Leaders. The session brought together the Board of Directors, leader farmers, and the management team, including the General Manager, Agronomist, and Accountant. The key focus was on the soil improvement plan. Holland Greentech (HGT) conducted a detailed soil analysis and provided a comprehensive interpretation of the results, highlighting critical gaps. This initiative, supported by Progreso Foundation, has empowered the Kigembe team with essential insights into their soil's current status, allowing them to develop targeted strategies for enhancement. ☕🌍 #SustainableFarming #SoilImprovement #ProgresoFoundation #KigembeCoffee #RwandaAgriculture #CoffeeCommunity #SoilHealth #GreenTechInnovation

The Progreso Team LATAM was present at the XV Cocoa and Chocolate Fair 🍫 that took place in Lima last weekend. It was the perfect opportunity to connect with some of our beneficiaries of the Blue print cocoa project: @allima_cacao, @aprocam_aprocam, Cuenta del Huallaga and @ceproaa. The cocoa and chocolate fair is designed for producers in the regions and buyers at national and global level to build business connections and potential alliances between organizations in the sector. The presence of our beneficiaries has strengthened their commercial relations, they have been able to share experiences with other national producer organizations and have reinforced their knowledge about the requirements of adaptation to the European Union's non-deforestation standard. 🌱 #Cocoa #Progresofoundation #EUDR #Peru

Progreso Foundation is exploring a new region in Colombia: Tumaco, Nariño. The economy of the coastal region of Pacific Nariño is primarily based on agriculture, fishing, forestry, and tourism. Tumaco produces 100% of Nariño's African palm, 92% of its cocoa, and 51% of its coconut, and also hosts a significant portion of the department's hotel offerings. Diagnostics are being conducted for three organizations in the region: Chocolate Tumaco, Cortepaz, and Comcacaot, to evaluate their participation in the Blueprint Cacao project, which contributes to the strengthening of microcredits for members and the improvement of agroforestry systems in productive units.🍫🌱 #agroforestry #progresofoundation #Colombia #cocoa #nariño

Progreso Foundation, partner of the Young Expert Programmes, pays attention to our collaboration in its annual report 2023! With two of our current #YoungExperts and another couple of #YEPalumni in its team, Progreso acknowledges that “YEP Programmes offers an invaluable opportunity for young professionals to gain hands-on experience, build networks, and contribute to sustainable development goals.” 😊 In the report, Progreso also states that “By participating in the YEP Programmes, Progreso becomes part of a global network that allows us to exchange knowledge and expertise and thus work in a complementary manner with other organisations in support of cooperatives.” 👍 Masereka Brian is one of the #YoungExperts at Progreso #Uganda. Under his #YEPEnergy programme, Brian works on a project that enables farmers to create additional income stream to invest in sustainable and climate-resilient practices, transition to renewable energy, and be part of a resilient and low emissions food system. 📃 Read more about Progreso and its annual report at https://lnkd.in/es_m92ex.
