Leadership and Entrepreneurial Training

Fair Trade premiums have helped CEPIBO invest in members of their community through several training and education programs. One such program focused on entrepreneurship and starting small businesses, equipping producers, workers and their children with essential skills to become successful leaders and businesspeople in their community. With the additional support of Fair Trade premiums, two small businesses have already taken off in the community. These two businesses, an organic fertilizer company and a local input store, allow local farmers to access products needed on their farms without being subject to market fluctuations.
