The University of Wageningen, a leading Dutch agricultural university, is consulting with Consorcio Agroforestal to provide technical assistance to our farmers in Bolivia, Brazil, and Paraguay on modern farming methods, increasing production and raising profit levels. The University will supply post-graduate interns to assist our farmers.
Solving food problems
We are primarily focused on solving problems related to FOOD SECURITY. We work directly with commodity suppliers at their local level to ensure quality commodities at fair but uninflated prices, delivered CIF, without multiple levels of brokers between the farm and the customer.
We find that we are somewhat unique since we answer inquiries immediately and quote competitive prices quickly and deliver when we say we will, and we can arrange to finance for all projects either conventionally or on a custom basis.
