A healthy income for Mr. Jair

In November, we visited Mr. Jair. He has around 3 ha of coffee agroforestry which was planted in 2022, and was in the process of preparing another 2 ha to be planted in 2023. Mr. Jair never worked with coffee before he started to participate in the project, but after following all the guidelines his agroforestry system is developing quite well. While the trees are growing, he has planted crops in between the lines, such as corn, watermelon and pineapple. He is particularly pleased with his watermelons, which he sold in the city of Apuí for an impressive BRL 10,000 (USD$2,000)!
