EIP Practice Abstract Format:
Short summary for practitioners in English on the (final or expected) outcomes (1000-1500 characters, word count – no spaces).This summary should be as interesting as possible for farmers/end-users, using a direct and easy understandable language and pointing out entrepreneurial elements which are particularly relevant for practitioners. Research oriented aspects which do not help the understanding of the practice itself should be avoided. |
Short description of the ‘Good Practice’: artisanal, local and small transformation process (non-industrial kitchens, small kitchens) of localy produced fruits and vegetables to jams, sauces and other products. |
| Main results/outcomes of the activity (expected or final): a mixed profile, not only transformed products are sold to their local ecologic and artisanal stores, but also, they sell internationally to small stores and wholesale distribution networks. | |

| Producen artesanalmente, localmente y en pequeños procesos de transformación (pequeñas cocinas no industriales), mermeladas, salsas y otros productos de frutas y verduras producidas localmente. Tienen un perfil mixto, no sólo los productos transformados se venden a sus tiendas locales ecológicas y artesanales, sino también, venden internacionalmente a pequeñas tiendas y redes de distribución al por mayor. | |
| Pearls, Puzzles, Proposals? | Pearls: local and ecologic production of transformed vegetables and fruits (produced localy) is a value added to the business since, first, the demand of this type of productis seems to be higher every day, and second, they have increased the value of the production by applying primary, secondary transformation, the packaging, export, and wholesale distribution. Their good marketing strategy online helped them reach national and international consumers. Puzzles: it is not easy to build up a model of this type since food and quality regulation are stricted, each region have specific needs and the initial investment has to be borne. Proposals: to do a market study of the region needs, the vegetables produced localy and subcontract laboratory and consultancy services for food and qualiti regulation purposes. Also, it is suggested to “experiment in the kitchen” in home kitchen about what transformative processes should be addressed to transform the vegetables and fruits. |
| What needs did the ‘good practice’ respond to? | This model respond to a demand of ecologic and artisanal production of transformed products as well as a need to reduce the number of unemployed women in the local area. They started buying local vegetable and fruits, hiring unemployed women and renting a small kitchen to process the vegetables. Nowadays, they sell to local and international ecologic shops. |
