The Ministerio de Agricultura y Ganadería (MAG), through the Consejo Salvadoreño del Café (CSC), opens the call for the preliminary registration of beneficiaries of the VIVACAFE project, funded by the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation, which seeks to renew the coffee forest of El Salvador.

This registration will be carried out in conjunction with the PIATEC-Café program, a platform set up by the MAG to facilitate the access of producers to the various government programs related to coffee growing.
