Chontaduro instead of Coca

Importex Inc. (importexcorp.com) a California-based corporation and APACH-Colombia (Asociación APACH | Facebook) have created a special agreement to promote and market the different products originating from the fruit of the peach palm under the brand name “Chontadooroh Republic, Peach Palm Fruit and Derivatives” (™). Under this agreement, APACH, its members, the community and the territory in which they live, receive social recognition, fair payment and well treatment for their products and services while promoting the sustainability of the commercial operation in the United States of America and meeting its objectives of eradicating illicit crops.

APACH's efforts have been recognized by the Government of Colombia and the support of entities such as USAID (SEED - Territorios de Oportunidad | Colombia | Fact Sheet | U.S. Agency for International Development), Mercy Corps (Desarrollo Algo Nuevo - fase 2 - Mercy Corps), the World Food Programme - WFP (www.care.org), among others with capital contributions and advice that allow them to develop high quality and export products.

Initially we will be marketing chontaduro powder in 2 LBS- and 0.55 LB resealable Tetra pack bags. We hope to introduce new products in the coming months, among others, chontaduro powder in different weights, chontaduro in syrup, snacks, jams and jellies all of them being proudly produced by APACH, buying these 100% natural products everyone is helping to decrease the offer of damaging drugs.

APACH is committed to processes of substitution of illicit crops (coca, marijuana and Amapola plantations) with agricultural products such as chontaduro, cocoa and coffee.

All crops and their transformation and production processes are carried out respecting the land, avoiding as much as possible the use of chemicals and the addition of preservatives, dyes or any other element that is not natural.

APACH has a product transformation plant that is free of allergen contamination as it is not in contact with other products such as nuts, peanuts, soy, milk or eggs.

We would greatly appreciate any support you can give to this coalition of good by purchasing our products, using them repeatedly, promoting them with your family, friends, and people in positions of public and private responsibility. Each coca plant dedicated to the production of cocaine and its illicit trade is a threat to individual health and that of families everywhere in the world where it passes, mainly in the United States of America where the final consumers pay with their lives. Chontaduro instead of coca is a blessing for all.

We count on your collaboration.
