What an incredible day for Sayab Farmers' Co-operative! π± We are delighted to share that we have been named the Agricultural Co-operative of the Year! This prestigious award recognizes our journey from an informal group in 2006 to a formally registered co-operative specializing in bell peppers, leafy greens, herbs, tomatoes, and more.
Our thanks go to the Department of Co-operatives, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security and Enterprise, The GEF Small Grants Programme - Belize from the United Nations Development Programme - UNDP, and Belize Enterprise for Sustainable Technology (BEST) for this fantastic initiative and for recognizing our efforts. We're excited to receive BZ$2,000 in agricultural inputs, which will help us continue to enhance our operations and agro-processing initiatives.
Congratulations to Cvf Cooperative (Concepcion Vegetable Farmers) on their well-deserved second place β it was truly a close race!
This honor motivates us to keep pushing boundaries in sustainable farming and supplying fresh produce to resorts, restaurants, and markets across Belize.
