Colombia: National Plan for Promoting the Commercialization of Peasant, Family and Community Economy Production – Resolution No. 000006 of 2020

National plan adopted by Colombia's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development through Resolution No. 000006 of 2020 in implementation of section 1.3.3.4 of the Final Peace Agreement on rural marketing and commercialization. The Plan seeks to improve conditions for producers belonging to the Peasant, Family and Community Economy to access markets and participate in local, regional and national value chains by strengthening alternative commercialization schemes and reducing information asymmetries between producers and buyers. Measures include strengthening producer organizations and solidarity associations, farmers' markets and short supply chains, local public food procurement, business matchmaking and commercial partnerships, co-financing collection centers and commercial infrastructure, strengthening commercial capacities and information systems, and institutional coordination through the National Technical Committee for Rural Commercialization. The Plan incorporates a gender perspective aimed at the economic empowerment of rural women and seeks to improve productivity, market access and the sustainable income-generating capacity of peasant, family and community agriculture producers. Its implementation horizon extends through 2031.
