RECIA
The Collaborative Network for Agricultural Infrastructure (RECIA) seeks to promote individual and collective development for the productive chains of the Colombian countryside, and generate key knowledge for public and private decision-making for sectoral development, fostering spaces for participation among various actors.
RECIA takes into account the entire supply chain, which includes all activities and infrastructures necessary to align the supply of agricultural products with market demand, from the harvesting of products to their commercialization phase. (MADR, PEI 2019-2022)
