It is indisputable that tropical fruits are rich in nutrients, but Guanabana (soursop) is extremely nutritious !! Just over 20 years ago this fruit was considered exotic in Colombia. The development and boom in production has allowed consumption and exports to grow considerably. Currently, the evolution in cultivation techniques, the standardization of production processes and the increase in foreign demand has created a boom in the production of soursop at the national level. So much so that it is the tenth largest fruit crop produced in the country. The main soursop producing regions in Colombia are Tolima, Valle del Cauca, Santander, Cundinamarca, Huila and Antioquia. They are mostly small producers with between 60 and 500 trees. Within Soursop you can find mineral salts, potassium, phosphorus, iron, calcium, lipids, vitamin C, provitamin A, and vitamin B. The flavour makes it unique and it also has the advantage of being the least seasonal tropical fruit. Nowadays, due to the studies that have been carried out on soursop. Its great properties are attributed to medical treatments for medical conditions such as cancer, asthma, liver disorders, hypertension, and diabetes. It is studied in helping to prevent, regulate and even treat these pathologies. Colombian Soursop is appreciated in the markets for their size, shape and quality. It is a perishable fruit that deteriorates a few days after being harvested. For this reason we decided to freeze-dry this delicious fruit. So that its flavor and benefits reach more homes around the world. So that this wonder that the earth offers us can be enjoyed by everyone. Our Soursop comes from Tolima and Valle del Cauca. From small and medium farmers which generate employment for several families. Contributing and impacting a small part of the agricultural sector that is so forgotten. ❤️

Tasty fruit grown with love !!

Between small and medium producers, Colombia has about 35,000 hectares of planted mango. All of these crops have an average yield of 10 tons per hectare, with an estimated national production of 350,000 tons per year. In Colombia there is a great variety of mango, such as Sugar Mango, Tommy Mango, Yulima Mango, Common Mango and Keitt Mango. The main mango producing areas in Colombia are in Cundinamarca, Tolima and Magdalena.
Our Colombian farmers sell the fresh fruit in a basket, to intermediaries who visit the farms in the two harvest seasons. The first season is in November, December, and January. The second in June, July, and August. The intermediaries always take the best quality fruits and are the ones that determine the price of the baskets. However, by following this buying process the farmers do not know the true cost of their products. The majority of farms do not have access to technology, which prevents them from accessing accurate information and taking opportunities to innovate and grow their business. This results in the intermediaries being able to sell the farmers products at a higher price without giving the farmer a fair market price. On the other hand, IntentaVida focuses on giving farmers a fair price so they have the resources they need to grow their business.🌳
Our mango is grown in the department of Magdalena. In a community dedicated to mango production, formed by the union of several small farms. All with the same goal: to produce excellent quality food and have a good quality of life, together as a family. With their professionalism, care and dedication, they have consolidated their crops. Making them more technical and obtaining various certifications such as the GlobalG.AP., BPA (good agricultural practices), among others, to offer you magnificent quality mangoes.

For Colombia the banana is everything, it represents: Joy, History, Tradition, Nutrition, and Culture.

With an average of 3.5 hectares of banana per producer and 13,721 tons imported per year. Colombia is considered as the fourth largest banana exporter in the world, with 90% of the country’s production being exported. This fruit is found on the shelves of supermarkets and groceries stores around the world. It is a natural delicacy from which no one escapes. Despite the fact that the sector has been hit by inflation, the increase in the cost of living, the supply crisis and the difficulty in the production of fertilizers. Bananas continue to be one of Colombia’s most valuable products. More and more farmers are betting on the banana sector. Today it generates employment for more than one million families, which is equivalent to approximately 2.5 million people in the country. There are around 8,000 banana producers, who are mainly concentrated in the areas of Urabá, northwestern Antioquia, in the south of Cauca, in the central zone of Colombia in Caldas, Quindío, Risaralda, and Tolima, and in the zone of the eastern plains.
Our banana producers are mostly concentrated in the department of Tolima, and although they are small farmers. For years they have preserved the legacies of customs and knowledge of their past generations. Working the land with pride, love, dedication and good agricultural practices. In order to be able to harvest a product of excellent quality and flavor. 🌱
