This is how we take advantage of this plantain and generate a quality product that, in the future, we want to sell in the department and, why not, nationwide”, says Juan David.

“In this process, in addition to linking the producers, we have an important ally, the Asociación de Plataneros del Medio Atrato, ASOPLAMEDA, who have taken an active part in the project and provide us with their production plant to carry out the washing, peeling, chopping, frying and packing”.

Juan David, in addition to continuing his studies in business administration, is dedicated to leading the administrative and accounting issues of “Platanitos de Bojayá” and coordinates the participation of other entrepreneurs in the production and sale processes.

“Thanks to the project I was able to travel to Mexico to the Pacific Alliance Meeting and share with young people from other countries. I found the experience super good, there were many young people with different projects. What I liked the most were the training on how to strengthen our projects in marketing, administration and legal issues”.

“My dream is to expand borders and sell the plantains outside of Bojayá. Increase production, generate more movement in the region’s economy and begin to generate representative income with the sale of the finished product.”
