Linking Small Producers of Native Maize to Specialty Culinary Markets

The objective is to support a group of farmers and experts that will provide the collective ability to the small farmers to reach the markets that are demanding the product that they have carefully conserved through continued selection and cultivation. A major activity is to form a collective trademark, to differentiate native maize from hybrid maize, as well as to differentiate maize produced by smallholder farmers growing the traditional maize of their areas and to ensure that the price paid values the quality and rarity of their product.
