Costa Rican organic farmers need incentives

Costa Rica’s area dedicated to organic crops fell for the second consecutive year in 2012.

But the industry still managed to raise export volumes by 1.1 million kilograms.

The country has great potential to export a range of products, but at the moment it is just trying to maintain shipments for products like bananas, pineapples, coffee and cacao, said the State Phytosanitary Service.
