We are revolutionizing food systems in Latin America & the Caribbean to put smallholder farmers & workers first.
关于我们
Our vision is a world where smallholder farmers are empowered with long-term opportunities and market access that enable them to live healthy, dignified, and prosperous lives. A world where local food systems are equitable and work in favor of small producers, not against them. A world where all workers in food systems are paid fairly. Acceso was originally founded by President Clinton and philanthropist Frank Giustra as an initiative of the Clinton Foundation. Acceso’s mission is to create fundamental and lasting economic change in the lives of rural smallholder farming families. Our pioneering entrepreneurial model provides smallholder farmers with a sustainable way to participate in formalized markets, enabling them to work themselves out of poverty with dignity and to prosper. Acceso focuses on five key initiatives: empowering farmers to improve agricultural production, guaranteeing market access, boosting local social entrepreneurship, improving food security, and market linked reforestation. Acceso’s current social enterprises in Colombia, El Salvador, and Haiti have generated over $60M for more than 15,000 smallholder farmers and farm workers. Current portfolio: Acceso Colombia, the leading Colombian smallholder sourcing business in the Andean and Caribbean regions, supplying national supermarkets, retailers and restaurants. Acceso El Salvador, the largest smallholder producer sourcing company in El Salvador supplying +60 types of fruits and vegetables, and fish and seafood to the quality markets. Acceso Haiti, one of few successful social agribusinesses in Haiti that has developed the largest formalized network of small farmers in the country, sourcing peanuts, mango, and moringa for both local and export markets. Acceso works regularly with leading multinationals such as Pepsi, Unilever, Marriott, Walmart, and Club Med to conduct feasibility studies and pilot programs to expand sustainable sourcing or last-mile distribution opportunities.

New Gender Committee Established to Empower Women in El Salvador's Agricultural Sector. In December 2024, Acceso hosted the inaugural meeting to establish a special Gender Committee aimed at increasing women’s participation in El Salvador’s agricultural sector. The event brought together representatives from regional institutions, academia, and the private sector. The Gender Committee, developed under the framework of the Sustainable Market Access Project and supported by Acceso and USAID, will address gender inequality by: ? Identifying and overcoming barriers to equality. ? Promoting equal access to resources and technology. ? Facilitating caregiving services to enable women’s participation. ? Building technical and leadership skills among women. ? Preparing women to face challenges like climate change and food insecurity. The first session welcomed representatives from organizations such as STM-COMMCA SICA, Secretaría General del Sistema de la Integración Centroamericana (SG-SICA), AS Mujeres, FUSADES, Universidad Francisco Gavidia, Universidad Tecnológica de El Salvador, FUNDEMAS , USAID and Acceso El Salvador. Out of 58 million women living in rural areas of Latin America and the Caribbean, only 12.3% of women are participating in agriculture (according to STM-COMMCA data, 2021). Limited access to resources, time, and opportunities continues to hinder their economic development and inclusion in the sector. These women face serious limitations in accessing productive resources, financing, insurance, and training, as well as various barriers to placing their products in markets. To bridge this gap, a comprehensive public-private approach is essential to empower women economically and create conditions that foster their inclusion in the agricultural sector. Acceso and USAID are promoting the special Gender Committee to advance sustainable development goals, particularly: ?? Ending poverty (SDG 1) ♀? Achieving gender equality (SDG 5) ?? Decent work and economic growth (SDG 8) ?? Reducing inequalities (SDG 10) Together, let’s build a more inclusive future for women in agriculture! ?? #GenderEquality #Agriculture #EconomicInclusion #SustainableDevelopment #Acceso
