National Platform of Responsible Production and Trade of Costa Rican Pineapple
Introduction: The production and trade of pineapple in Costa Rica is expanding, growing from 7.6 percent of agricultural GDP in 1998 to 27.83 percent in 2005. Today that figure has reached 30 percent, and generates approximately US$ 140 million annually. Costa Rica has positioned itself as the main provider of fresh pineapple to the US (45 percent) and EU market (55 percent), and contributes to 8 percent of global pineapple production, reaching 1.6 million metric tons in 2008.Read more: National Platform of Responsible Production and Trade of Costa Rican Pineapple
Greening the sustainable cocoa supply chain in Ghana
Introduction: Cocoa production in Ghana occurs mainly in five regions: the moist semi-deciduous forest (Eastern, Ashanti, Brong-Ahafo, Central Regions) and high rainforest agro-ecological zones in the Western region. Progressive conversion of forests in Ghana into cocoa fields, particularly in the Western Region, contributes to ongoing deforestation.

Biodiversity Conservation in Coffee: Transforming productive practices by increasing market demand for certified sustainable coffee
Introduction: Colombia produces coffee in 16 of its 32 departments with a total production area of approximately 870,000 ha. There are close to 513,000 active producers (families), mainly in small properties (with an average of 1.61 ha in coffee) who mainly depend on coffee production as a source of income, although in some cases they can also have other crops and/or small-scale animal breeding. Coffee production generates 640,000 direct and 1 million indirect jobs in the country. Coffee represents 29.5% of domestic agricultural employment and its contribution to the agricultural Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is 12.4%. Colombian coffee is exported to 36 countries.
Central American Markets for Biodiversity (CAMBio)

The Central American Markets for Biodiversity (CAMBio) project supports the mainstreaming of biodiversity conservation and sustainable use within small, micro and medium sized enterprise development and financing in five Central American countries (Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua).
Introduction: The Central American countries, covering all together an area of 769,000 km2, although they represent only a 0.5% of Earth at global level, shelter 7% of the land species of the planet, including 210 endemic mammals and 24,000 plants. Besides being a natural bridge used by hundreds of species of migratory birds, Central America is one of the most important places for the conservation of diversity of all forms of life existing on Earth.
