What will you be financing?

Vallata is a Colombian organic citrus (oranges and limes) producer and exporter. Vallata is focused on the sustainability of their processes and the social impact of their activity.

The funds raised by this campaign will finance upscaling the operations of six citrus farms - Montenegro, Las Palmeras, Turin, Balcanes, Llanogrande, and Pomarosa - that will keep feeding the Vallata's Lime Packing House. The goal is to implement Vallata’s production model, including building infrastructure and expanding all certifications. 

Many Colombian farmers can’t reach the scale needed to compete in the citrus markets and are not able to reach the quality certifications needed for exporting. As part of its strategic expansion, Vallata is increasing its production capacity by renting six farms and helping them scale.

These farms, already populated with thousands of citrus trees, are leased from small farmers who traditionally lack the scale and infrastructure needed to access international markets. By integrating these farms into Vallata's production system, the promoter will increase their production volume, and the local farmers will benefit from better infrastructure, access to larger markets, and better income. Vallata will implement a series of improvements on the six farms, including soil and foliar fertilisation, phytosanitary treatments, tree pruning, irrigation systems, updated tools and equipment, and infrastructure development.

Learn more about the farms here: VALLATA_2025.pdf

This is the promoter's third campaign, after raising 525.500€ in Lime Packing House to co-finance the construction of a cutting-edge lime packing house in Valle del Cauca, and 370.000€ in Lime Packing House II to support the promoter's export business.

What is the impact?

Direct

  • Promotion of sustainable and resilient food production systems: Vallata implements the organic mode of production for limes and other fruit, having their own production as well as the smallholder producers’ certified organic and good agricultural practices (Global GAP certification). By renting the six new farms, Vallata will add another 113 hectares of land to be under preparation and production. In addition, Valllata owns 40 hectares of land that are natural reserve, protecting river basins.
  • Improve resources use efficiency in consumption and production: Vallata focuses on the efficiency of natural resources in its production. The promoter uses manual irrigation systems (that are water-use efficient) at the farms, maintains a relatively low intensity of energy consumption, which comes from hydroelectric plants in Antioquía, and composts residues from the farm to use as organic matter and fertilizer for the production.

Indirect

  • Implementation of an environmental and social management system: Overall Vallata implements a broad set of practices as part of their sustainability policies, including soil and groundwater quality management, pollution, waste management, biodiversity, workers rights and fair compensation and water supply.
  • Commitment to continuous improvement towards sustainability:As part of the funding for this campaign, Vallata has committed to expand their policies by implementing a couple of measures at the owned and rented farms, that represent priorities for the company and for Goparity, in the next 6 months. They are:
    • Development of gender-related policies, such as parenting leave, flexible return, health care and well-being and career opportunities for women;
    • Installation of new sanitation and hygiene facilities for workers at the fields;
    • Improvement of sanitation and hygiene facilities for workers at their accommodation;
    • Develop a land acquisition policy: to avoid involuntary displacement resulting from land acquisitions or leases;
    • Implementation of water consumption tracking strategy to monitor water usage in the operations.
