Hi, my name is Luis Carlos and I've worked at Finca Corsicana for 14 years.
Finca Corsicana grows certified organic pineapples.
We are also a Fair Trade certified company.
We employ approximately 325 people of which 15% are women.
The farm was founded in 1991 and switched to organic production in 2001.
The farm covers 1,300 hectares of which 50% remains protected forest area.
To make this organic farming process possible, we've had to develop our own lab
to create micro-organisms that work against the main pests and diseases common to pineapple production.
Here you see the production of tricoderma which helps fight common pineapple diseases.
One of the priorities of Finca Corsicana is to give its 325 employees a comfortable workplace by offering them fair social, economic and laboral benefits.
Some of the services we offer include a subsidized breakfast and lunch in the spacious dining area,
an on-site grocery store for daily needs, free medical care and free transportation to and from work.
