Despite the ongoing civil problems in Colombia, and a poverty rate of nearly 50 percent, there are several local products that are in high demand around the world, including coffee. Colombia is the world's second-largest coffee producer. However, due to a variety of factors, including small farm sizes and low-grade processing equipment, many coffee farmers aren't producing up to their potential. TechnoServe is working to change this. We are also helping Colombia's entrepreneurs to develop business ideas that translate into opportunities for people at the bottom of the economic pyramid through our successful business plan competition model.
