 Nicaragua is the second poorest country in Latin America. The agricultural sector counts for 20% of GDP and 29.5% of employment, but its performance is highly influenced by the country's vulnerability to climatic events. This severely threatens coffee and cocoa production, in turn affecting national exports and the livelihood of smallholder farmers. The government of Nicaragua, with the support of IFAD, is responding to these challenges by strengthening the coffee and cocoa value chains to address climate change, with the adapting to changing markets and the effects of climate change projects. NIC ADAPTER El FIDE is present in Nicaragua from the 1980s, from various programs that have consolidated an attention of approximately 400,000 people. The government has recently asked us to focus on two rubles, coffee and cocoa. On the one hand, coffee represents the main engines of the country's economy, with a strong presence of small producers. Around 80% of the quality production is produced by small producers. Well, yes, among the areas of cocoa, I have a coffee culture in combination. The culture is what the two rubles are, coffee and cocoa. But above all, in the two cultures we have had a lot of damage because of the disease, that when there is a lot of water, a lot of rain, then that attracts a lot of disease. Because for example, this year there was a lot of ruin in what was the coffee, there was a roll, and that roll made it a lot to bring them to production. Before there were no such diseases as there are now, but before the coffee we sowed it like this and we didn't have a lot of problems. So now comes the challenge, how do we look at the part of the diseases? That is a very big problem, because we try to sow the plant, to cultivate it well, but suddenly the climate changes have been affecting us in these years, more this year right now. It is crossing that problem right now, that I guess we have 60% of damaged coffee. Also many people who migrate to Costa Rica to look for jobs, right? We have all been affected in the food sector, in the economic sector, in the health sector, in the educational sector, for the children we cannot send them to school and we do not have an economic resource. Climate change has also affected the availability of water. The water in the wet-benefit process is key to the process and it has had to implement some actions, such as water harvest capture, so that the producers can have important resources to carry out the wet-benefit process. So it also makes sense, it also needs to work in the water harvest at the level of wells. Currently, in the production sector, we have a challenge to improve the areas of the producers, of the small producers who have been affected a lot by talking about it. Also, they, many of their areas are old-fashioned and need to be renovated, so it also needs to be inverted in that part, because there is no program that supports that part and is vital so that the producers can get better performance and therefore improve their economic situation. This great challenge has led us to focus and develop what we have called the NICADAPT project. A project of around $ 37 million, with a fee of $ 24 million, of which 8 came from a new fund, the ASAP fund, intended specifically for the environmental issues. My root growth here, mainly at the beginning, was coffee. I was convinced that it was not only possible to depend on a single crop, but also on the diversification and especially now, because with the climate change we have had a lot of serious problems with coffee. Yes, through the capacity, we also realized that the cocoa was a rubro that adapted to the low areas, where coffee has a lot of difficulties for the harvest. The project is fundamentally focused, to be more effective, we focus on families. We focus on families looking for diversification, as a way of improving the capacity of the producer to adapt to the climate change. The food diversification, which can ensure their food through the crops, as different types of trees that exist, different fruit trees that exist, but also traditional crops. The important thing is that the producer manages different activities in front of these effects. Yes, it is clear that, as a producer, we need support, especially in more capacity, in financing, to have a real development and thus maintain the whole family in a better situation, to have a better support, to have organized work, and to have support to produce more, and to be fighting the diseases of the plants, financing, a channel to sell the product better, because here it is sold at a very low price. In the first instance, we have the local market, which in this case, the Ritter company is one of the companies that is buying a lot of cattle in the country, and is managing a very good price. But in parallel to that, our intention is to be able to sell outside the country, to access new markets that have a better price. For that, we have to improve the production levels of our partners. There are producers that run between 6 and 8 plants per apple, with the work plans that we are expecting, because the idea is that they can raise those production levels to 12 plants, to 20 plants, to 22 plants per apple. As you said, they require volumes, they require quality. The cooperative, as a form of integration of the small producers, allows us to reduce the costs of transaction that involve these to access markets. This is our main strategy, to base ourselves on these, and also to favor with new issues that we are promoting in FIDA, which is to directly function, let's call it a kind of brokerage. We also think that at least about 25,000 families are going to increase their income by 20%. We also think that other 40,000 families are going to introduce technological innovations that allow us to increase the production of cattle, the production that we think is at least an increase of 15-20% in the next 5 years. We also think about investing in roads, investing in infrastructure around about 100 different types of investment in roads that allow us to improve market access. In this way, we think that it is our contribution to the development of the country and these families. With the support of FIDA, we have to look for what I have focused on a lot, to work more in the primary part to improve performance, but also to work on the part of adding processes, adding value and strengthen those capacities that already exist, but that with another level to develop. I think that FIDA here, with FIDA projects and with those new ones that are there, it is clear that the goal is to pursue, for us, it must be a project that we should be working on more in order to develop the families as such. So I consider that if we have to continue advancing, working and looking for those goals that are pursued, they are transferred to something very real, which is the case of the families that work in the field.
