AGEXPORT knows REPSA's operations and social investment projects

Last Friday, April 5, REPSA received a visit from the president of the Guatemalan Exporters Association AGEXPORT. During the tour, visitors visited the distant work areas and learned first-hand how REPSA produces Sustainable Palm Oil. The areas visited were: composter Plant Health Laboratory Fruit harvest, High cut, demonstration Industrial operation and Agroecological projects of the Agroenvironmental Field School (ECA). In addition to agricultural and industrial operations, visitors learned about: the good neighbor relationship with all the communities that surround us, the environmental instruments that the law prescribes, the inclusion of women in REPSA's work activities and how they are maintained decent and safe work spaces for all employees. Part of the tour was to present the cocoa project that is developed with REPSA communities of influence. In this project, the company provides support to turn families into independent cocoa producers. In this regard, Connie de Paiz, president of AGEXPORT, indicated the following: "I feel very impressed with everything that is being done, trying to be ecological in everything they do with the plantations and how they do the plantations, really very professional all the work they do, and the most impressive thing is everything they do with the communities. The truth is I am very impressed with the work they are doing with the surrounding communities, they work with women with food to organize them, I had the opportunity to talk with them a moment ago: they meet and have a group of women who work on the nutrition of the communities and women who are working to see what kind of products they can make to help the household economy, the truth is that it is a very integral job in the community and the company is doing a very important job. All cocoa plantations are very important for AGEXPORT; It would be very important that within 3 years when the crops are already there, we can link up with them and be able to export the cocoa they are producing and make them exporters," said Connie de Paiz.
