Annual reports
In-person events.
Event objective:
Within the framework of the agreement between Cenicaña and Asocaña, we have successfully carried out four training events focused on sugarcane cultivation, providing valuable knowledge to a group of technicians and young people from the northern Cauca region. These workshops addressed essential topics such as: varieties for panela production, seed acquisition and management, main diseases and pests that attack sugarcane crops, plant nutrition, integrated weed management and harvest quality.
This effort is part of the project “Commitment to Comprehensive Rural Development for Northern Cauca”, whose objective is to unite efforts to strengthen small producers. Through the implementation of good practices and business strengthening, we seek to contribute to improving the quality of life in the region. Together, we are building a more sustainable future for our farmers.
