The fruits of sustainability and decent work
New York, Dec 8 (IBNS): Costa Rica’s is taking the lead in promoting the socially-conscious production of pineapples whilst protecting the environment, thanks to a project supported by the UN Development Programme (UNDP).
The Central American country is the world leader in growing the fruit, a business worth more than US$800 million a year.
In a new approach, some plantations have adopted socially responsible practices including equal pay for men and women, worker education programmes and agricultural techniques which aim to protect the environment.
