Coliman Bananas & AHIFORES

At Coliman Bananas, we firmly believe that agricultural development must go hand in hand with respect for human rights, worker welfare, and environmental stewardship. That is why we are part of AHIFORES (the International Fruit and Vegetable Alliance for the Promotion of Social Responsibility), an organization that, like us, strives for a fairer, more humane, and more sustainable fruit and vegetable industry.

What is AHIFORES?

AHIFORES is a national alliance of producers, exporters, civil society organizations, and academics whose objective is to promote social responsibility in Mexico’s agricultural sector. Since its founding in 2015, AHIFORES has promoted good labor practices, decent working conditions, and compliance with national and international standards on human rights, health, and the environment.

We are proud to have been part of this collaborative network for seven years. As an associated company, we constantly work to implement and strengthen responsible practices in all our processes, from cultivation to marketing. This includes actions such as:

• Guaranteeing decent and safe working conditions for our employees.

• Promoting equity, inclusion, and respect in each of our operating units.

• Promoting the continuous training and comprehensive development of our teams.

• Maintaining high environmental sustainability standards in our operations.

Additionally, we actively participate in initiatives, forums, and training sessions organized by AHIFORES. We learn from other experiences, share our own practices, and always seek to improve.

We believe the success of the Mexican agri-food sector should be measured not only by the tons of produce exported, but also by the positive impact we have on the lives of the people who make each harvest possible. That is why building alliances, such as the one with AHIFORES, is essential to promoting well-being, respect, and social responsibility in rural communities.
