The Association aims to provide communities and families in the area with better opportunities for economic development and social well-being, while seeking to preserve the environment and their indigenous and Amazonian cultural identity. Wi\u00f1ak producers generally have farms with an average of 5 to 6 hectares (of which 2 to 3 are productive areas), so the Association operates on more than 1,500 hectares on average. In general, Wi\u00f1ak has extensive work experience, with more than 10 years operating and growing in its activities, producers and impacted area. They have demonstrated a strong commitment to the families they work with, reflecting that their reason for existence is really to improve the lives of communities and maintain traditional indigenous Kichwa culture, which intrinsically respects and protects nature. Therefore, there is no doubt that they have a \u201cregenerative\u201d essence, even though they do not use this term.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Products and production model<\/h3>\n<p>Their activity consists of the purchase, at \u201cfair prices\u201d, of products such as cocoa in baba, fresh leaves of guayusa, plantain and yuca, and their subsequent processing and sale to international markets (for cocoa and guayusa) and national markets (for plantain and yuca). To do this, they have plants <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8232 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/regenerativo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_20230606_101619446-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"458\" height=\"343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/regenerativo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_20230606_101619446-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/regenerativo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_20230606_101619446-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/regenerativo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_20230606_101619446-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/regenerativo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_20230606_101619446-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/regenerativo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_20230606_101619446-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/regenerativo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_20230606_101619446-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 458px) 100vw, 458px\" \/>for the processing and processing of products, and with about 23 employees. Thus, its final products become (i) cocoa beans (dry), (ii) chocolate bars of 70%, 85% and 100% of cocoa, (iii) crushed guayusa leaves, (iv) peeled plantain and (v) cassava (peeled or with shell). In this context, Wi\u00f1ak provides organization and technical advice to its suppliers, and encourages them to maintain traditional indigenous productive systems, such as chakras, which consist of very diversified, organic agroforestry systems that contribute to food security and cultural strengthening of families. All Wi\u00f1ak products are certified organic. In this sense, the added value of Wi\u00f1ak products lies in the fact that their products contribute fairly to the development of hundreds of indigenous families in the area, strengthening their traditional culture, while contributing to the conservation of the Amazon, with a healthy production that regenerates the ecosystem and landscape, in addition to being organic.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>3.
