Fairtrade - Tessa The Finest Flowers

Tessa CORPORATION

Proudly FairTrade Certified!

For farms R3 and R1 (Formerly Ponte Tresa Farm and Rosas Del Monte Farm).

We support our community, every single day.

Our premium FairTrade funds have been invested for:

Scholarships For Student Aid

We offer a range of resources and incentives to support workers and their families in their pursuit of academic growth, empowering them to enhance their skills and unlock new job prospects.

Housing Credits

We extend an opportunity for workers to acquire a credit that enables them to purchase land for constructing a new house or renovating their existing property.

Micro Credits

This initiative fosters entrepreneurship by facilitating the establishment of small family businesses focused on agricultural production, animal husbandry, and other related ventures. These endeavors not only contribute to the household economy but also enhance the overall quality of life for the workers involved

First Need Groceries

Through this project, we significantly reduce the cost of purchasing essential food and other basic necessities by procuring them in bulk from wholesalers. These items are then distributed among the workers and their families, ensuring consistent access to meet their nutritional requirements.

Community Health

The primary aim of this project is to ensure access to medical care for workers and their families by offering a comprehensive health insurance program established by the corporation. This initiative is specifically designed to safeguard against catastrophic diseases, prioritizing proactive preventive measures.

Training For Workers

The objective is to invest in the intellectual growth of workers, fostering a culture of continuous learning and empowering them to acquire valuable skills and knowledge applicable to both their daily lives and potential additional income opportunities. This includes encouraging them to explore new occupations such as crafts, electricity, mechanics, and more. By nurturing their professional development, we aim to enhance their capabilities and broaden their horizons.

Fairtrade Testimonials

ROSA CABEZAS Farm Concierge

"I'm one of the founders of the FairTrade programs here. Through the housing program, I was able to get a loan to build my home. I owned a little piece of land, but I did not have a house, therefore I lived my whole life paying rent to others. With the FairTrade loan, Ponte Tresa helped me a lot; I managed to improve my family’s well-being and now my little house has two floors."
MARTHA GUATEMAL Former Rose Classifier

"In terms of education, this program has helped me with scholarships for my son who is in high school, my daughter who goes to middle school, and my youngest son who is in first grade. Through their scholarships, we can afford to buy the list of supplies, uniforms, and everything they need."
JOSÉ INLAGOS Former Harvest Collaborator

"My greenhouse is now two years old since I retired from Ponte Tresa. Right now, I have Explorer and Mondial varieties in production, and the entire space is about 1.200 square meters. I lived on this land for seventeen years, and thanks to the FairTrade projects at Ponte Tresa, I bought a small land near the highway, where now I have my house and my little rose production space."
SERAFÍN VALENCIA Driver

"I had a lot of help from the FairTrade programs during the time I was an employee at Ponte Tresa, they´ve helped us with loans for education, credits for rent, and credits to pay for our children’s education. They granted me a loan to buy a truck, now it is mine, thanks to the help that the company gave me, I work now with my truck, and I’m self-employed."
