Helping Indigenous peoples increase their participation in trade.

Indigenous small farmers face numerous challenges and disadvantages in accessing trade resources and market information.

IAF grantee Flor de Mora advances Indigenous social and economic inclusion by helping Indigenous peoples increase their participation in trade.

Members are making use of the natural resources available to them, including blackberries, and strengthening the management capacity of their Indigenous-owned farmer?s association.

Flor de Mora is training its members on optimal agricultural practices and business expertise and acquiring technological tools to maintain up-to-date records of their inventory and keep up with the demand for and supply of blackberries.

This grant is part of the IAF's efforts to to promote the economic and social inclusion and human rights of historically marginalized populations by opening up markets to Indigenous populations, and to address the drivers of migration by promoting community resilience and rootedness in Central America.
