Farmers’ Testimonials

“...asked everyone to join us and work together. There are so many benefits in working in this project. We don’t have to ask for much and we don’t have to get in debt on things like fertilizers to do our job. I compost manure from cows and chickens to fertilize my finca. All these things help us save more money. We can provide better food for our families. We can pay off other debts. Since I joined Tukã Company I have been able to pay other debts that I had that otherwise I would not have been able to pay.”

“This is what I have seen in this first year since joining [Club Tukã]: the work experience has been great and I ask other small producers to join our team. They can also have the opportunity to improve with this team. Economically, to me it is huge and this is why I mention the opportunity for others. As a producer I have made a lot of sacrifices to produce organically. It is not something easy to do, but the difference in prices is much better. It is an opportunity to improve in life. That is what I see with this company. It has a social vision towards small producers which is different from other companies ...and that gives us strength.”

“I have started working with the Tukã Company. I am very thankful to them for coming to us. We have a group of farmers that have always looked out for each other and have looked for better prices. We work together and we put our efforts together because every day we see prices drop and we get paid less and now, thank God, we have found Tukã Company and this year has been great. The reward is to our families that work hard and sometimes don’t make ends meet. Now we are paying our bills and we are happy and we are thankful to Tukã Company and to my fellow farmers. It is a powerful thing to work together and to join efforts; it is the only way to achieve all these goals.”
