Jorge Sanchez, General Manager, gave thanks to his colleagues and the Management Team at Proagroin, to their members (Asoproagroin), their customers, friends, suppliers and collaborators for all their support.

“The support you have given us and the trust you have placed in us have enabled Proagroin to continue working towards the goals set out in its long-term project. This has but one objective: a better quality of life for small and medium producers in the north of Costa Rica. Last Thursday (sent on 8 December) we were told that we had been awarded a most prestigious national prize, that of Costa Rica’s Most Improved Exporter for 2008. This award is given each year by the Costa Rican Export Department and we are happy to accept it on behalf of more than 500 producers who have willingly collaborated with Proagroin to produce world-class, fairly-traded goods.

Thank you to all those who work with Proagroin for their efforts during the last few years.”

Note: Proagroin, a long time Shared Interest customer based in Costa Rica, is a major supplier of fair trade pineapples to large UK supermarket chains including Tesco and Waitrose.
