From Soil to Satiety: Why GLP-1 Trends Signal a New Era for Nutrient-Dense Foods
Something significant is quietly reshaping how people experience food. This is not a passing diet trend, but a medical breakthrough. GLP-1 medications, originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes, are now widely used to support weight management and metabolic health. These medications work by mimicking a natural hormone in the body, helping to regulate blood sugar, slow digestion, and signal feelings of fullness.
The result? Millions of people are eating less, not because they’re trying to restrict calories, but because their appetite has physiologically changed.
This shift is creating a ripple effect across the food and beverage industry. And for ingredient brands committed to quality and purpose, like Sol Organica, it’s an important moment to step forward.
What GLP-1 Medications Are Changing — And Why It Matters
GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro) are changing not just how much people eat, but how they relate to food. Appetite is diminished. Taste preferences shift. Foods that once brought joy: sweets, coffee, rich or fatty dishes, may suddenly seem off-putting. Many consumers on GLP-1s report reduced cravings, dry mouth, nausea, and early fullness. As a result, they eat smaller portions, often skip meals, and gravitate toward lighter, simpler foods.
But while intake decreases, the body’s nutritional needs do not. Smaller meals must now deliver more: more protein, more fiber, more vitamins and minerals, and more comfort and satisfaction in each bite or sip.
This is where the food industry faces both a challenge and an unprecedented opportunity.
Why Nutrient Density Is the New Gold Standard
The GLP-1 consumer needs nutrient-dense foods in small, manageable formats. And these must be more than just functional. They must also be gentle, digestible, familiar, and flavorful, while supporting hydration, gut health, and energy.
At Sol Organica, this brings us back to the soil. Because when food volume goes down, quality must go up. And nutrient-dense food starts with nutrient-rich soil.
As we’ve shared in our earlier blog, industrial agriculture has depleted our soils, stripping crops of the minerals, antioxidants, and vitamins that make them both healthy and flavorful. But regenerative agriculture is reversing that decline. By rebuilding soil biology, increasing organic matter, and diversifying cropping systems, regenerative farms produce food that is richer in both nutrients and taste. Exactly what today’s evolving consumers need.
From Regenerative Soil to Regenerative Nutrition
Flavor is often an indicator of nutritional density. A mango grown in vibrant, mineral-rich soil doesn’t just taste sweeter and juicier; it also contains more antioxidants, more vitamin C, and more potassium. For the GLP-1 consumer, whose taste perception is often altered, this matters. Heavily processed foods may become unpalatable, while whole, regeneratively grown foods offer a cleaner, more tolerable, and satisfying experience.
And these foods aren’t just good for the individual, they’re good for the planet. At Sol Organica, our tropical fruits are grown by smallholder farmers using regenerative organic, sustainable practices that prioritize soil health, biodiversity, and long-term resilience. Whether it’s mango, banana, pineapple, coconut, passionfruit, or dragon fruit, these crops are cultivated in nutrient-rich soils that support both the health of the environment and the nutritional integrity of the food. Dragon fruit, for example, is naturally high in magnesium, fiber, and antioxidants, nutrients that are especially valuable for GLP-1 users whose diets may lack volume but still demand depth. With every harvest, we’re working to close the gap between nourishment and sustainability — one regeneratively aligned ingredient at a time.
Designing for a New Kind of Consumer
GLP-1 users aren’t simply trying to lose weight; they’re navigating a deeply altered relationship with food. Some are athletes and health optimizers, looking for performance nutrition in compact formats. Others are focused on medical recovery or managing chronic conditions. Many are seeking a return to joy and identity through food, with products that feel empowering and nourishing.
The common denominator? They need better food, not just less food.
For brands and manufacturers, this opens the door to real innovation. Ingredient sourcing must support nutrient density, hydration, digestibility, and flavor, all without overwhelming the consumer. And messaging must shift from “restriction” to restoration. This is not about “guilt-free” eating. It’s about giving people what they truly need to feel good in their bodies
A Regenerative Response to a Rewritten Market
At Sol Organica, we believe regenerative agriculture offers a regenerative solution to this nutritional gap. Our work with farmers focuses not just on growing fruit, but on growing nutrition, from the ground up. In the face of GLP-1’s rising influence, our ingredients offer a bridge between the food system’s past and its future: more nourishment per bite, more impact per crop, more flavor per moment.
As the GLP-1 market continues to grow, so will demand for smart, supportive, purpose-driven products. Let’s meet this shift with empathy, integrity, and ingredients that truly support people’s evolving needs.
Together, we can restore joy, nutrition, and satisfaction to the plate — one regeneratively grown bite at a time.
An Alarming Drop in Nutritional Quality: A Systemic Wake‑Up Call
Over the past 60 years, a consistent and concerning pattern has emerged: our food is becoming less nutritious, as detailed in a recent article published in the National Library of Medicine, “An Alarming Decline in the Nutritional Quality of Foods”. Modern agriculture’s shift toward high-yield, input-intensive systems has contributed to a measurable loss of essential vitamins and minerals in fruits, vegetables, and grains. These losses, sometimes as much as 30–50%, affect the very building blocks of human health, including iron, magnesium, zinc, calcium, vitamin C, and B vitamins.
This decline is not just an agricultural concern. It’s a public health crisis in slow motion. With each generation, we are passing along food that looks the same but delivers less nourishment. Children today must eat significantly more produce to get the same nutritional value as their grandparents received. In a world already facing rising chronic disease and poor metabolic health, this trend cannot be ignored.
Soil Depletion: The Root Cause of Nutrient Loss
At the center of this issue is our soil. Healthy soil is a living ecosystem, teeming with billions of microorganisms that enable nutrient cycling, organic matter breakdown, and plant uptake of minerals. But industrial farming has decimated this living layer. Decades of monocropping, synthetic fertilizers, aggressive tilling, and lack of organic inputs have stripped the soil of its biological vitality.
When soil health suffers, plants can no longer draw up minerals effectively, even if those nutrients are technically present in the ground. The microbial networks that facilitate nutrient exchange weaken. Soil compaction and erosion reduce root depth and water retention, and crops grown in these depleted soils are inherently weaker, more susceptible to pests, disease, and ultimately less nutritious.
The connection is direct: degraded soil produces degraded food. Studies have shown that declines in soil organic matter correlate with lower mineral concentrations in crops. Even the flavor and aroma of food, often perceived as a mark of “freshness” or “quality”, are deeply linked to the nutrient complexity drawn from the soil. When soil is healthy and mineral-rich, crops contain more phytonutrients, antioxidants, and flavor compounds. In contrast, food grown in lifeless soils tends to be bland, watery, and lacking the vibrant taste that once defined freshly harvested produce.
Nutrients and Flavor: A Forgotten Link
Flavor is more than a sensory experience; it’s an indicator of nutritional density. The same phytonutrients, minerals, and aromatic compounds that contribute to taste are also responsible for a food's health benefits. This means that when flavor diminishes, nutrition often does too. A tomato that tastes dull may also be lacking in vitamin C or lycopene; a banana that ripens without sweetness may be low in magnesium or potassium.
In contrast, regeneratively grown food is often described as richer, more vibrant, and deeply satisfying, and science supports this. Studies show that food grown in high-organic-matter soils tends to contain significantly more antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, all of which contribute to both flavor and function.
Regenerative Agriculture: A Proven Path to Reversal
This is where regenerative agriculture (RA) steps in. Not just as an alternative, but as a solution. RA restores soil health through nature-aligned practices such as cover cropping, composting, crop diversity, reduced tillage, and animal integration. These techniques rebuild the organic matter and microbial life that industrial farming has stripped away.
A 2022 study comparing regeneratively grown crops to conventional ones found remarkable differences: regenerative produce contained significantly higher levels of vitamins K, B2, and E, and had greater concentrations of calcium, zinc, and phytosterols. Beyond individual nutrients, regenerative systems support overall nutrient density, a comprehensive measure of food quality that directly supports immune health, metabolic function, and disease prevention.
Why This Matters for B2B Partners
For food brands, processors, distributors, and sourcing managers, the nutrient crisis is more than a consumer issue; it’s a strategic inflection point. Businesses that rely on agricultural inputs are inheriting the costs of degraded soil in the form of diminished crop quality, rising input dependency, and increased susceptibility to climate stress. Flavor and nutritional integrity are becoming key differentiators in a market where transparency and health claims matter more than ever.
By aligning with regenerative supply chains, companies can deliver better ingredients, build stronger brand trust, and meet growing demand for clean-label, nutrient-dense foods. In a time when consumers and regulators are asking, “Where does this come from, and how was it grown?”, regenerative agriculture provides an answer rooted in science, sustainability, and substance.
What Businesses Can Do to Lead the Shift
Businesses ready to be part of the solution can start by re-evaluating sourcing practices, prioritizing partnerships with suppliers who are committed to regenerative methods. Investing in traceable, soil-health-first systems allows companies to offer products that are not only environmentally responsible but nutritionally superior. Collaboration is key: working directly with growers and processors to measure soil health and nutritional content can create a feedback loop that benefits everyone in the supply chain. And perhaps most importantly, businesses should tell this story: of rebuilding soil, restoring nutrition, and reclaiming flavor to their customers, investors, and communities. It’s a story of leadership in a time when the food system needs bold change.

Can Regenerative Organic Fruit Thrive Without Building Better Supply Chains?
Is Regenerative Enough Without Reinventing the Supply Chain?
Regenerative practices may start on the farm, but their impact only matters if they carry through the entire journey from soil to shelf. That brings up a pressing question: Can Regenerative Organic fruit succeed at scale without developing regenerative organic supply chains to support it?
For Sol Organica, a company rooted in sustainability and transparency, the answer lies in reshaping systems, not just standards. Growing fruit the regenerative way is only part of the solution. Ensuring that those practices translate into real value for farmers, buyers, and consumers requires strong, purpose-driven supply chains.
What Makes Regenerative Organic Fruit Different?
Regenerative Organic fruit isn’t simply about organic farming without chemicals. It’s built on principles like soil regeneration, biodiversity, fair labor, and climate resilience. These fruits are cultivated to heal the land while improving the livelihoods of those who grow them.
But the process doesn’t stop at harvest. If the supply chain treats regenerative ingredients the same way it handles conventionally grown crops, most of the impact gets lost. Without developing regenerative organic supply chains, brands may miss the opportunity to tell an authentic story, prove impact, and deliver real change.
Why the Supply Chain Needs to Change
Traditional supply chains often prioritize efficiency over ethics. In regenerative systems, the goals are different. It’s about connection, traceability, and long-term value. This requires investment in infrastructure, logistics, and local partnerships that support the regenerative model from start to finish.
At Sol Organica, the approach includes working directly with growers, minimizing intermediaries, and maintaining full transparency. This enables the company to scale while protecting the integrity of the Regenerative Organic fruit it produces.
A Fruit Is Only as Good as the Road It Travels
Can Regenerative Organic Fruit Thrive Without Building Better Supply Chains? The honest answer is no. It takes more than healthy soil to make an impact. If we want to build a food system that truly heals people and the planet, we must fix what happens after the farm gate. That starts with developing regenerative organic supply chains that reflect the values of the product they carry.
At Sol Organica, we’re doing our part. But this is a road we can’t walk alone.

Bursting the Sustainabubble: Wellness Woven into Every Bite
In response, Sol Organica’s diverse product line, from sun-dried tropical fruits to nutrient-dense IQF purees, pieces, flours, powders, and oils, meets these trends head-on. Because our ingredients come from regenerative organic farms, they are naturally more nutrient-rich and flavorful, making them ideal for innovative health-focused formulas. This approach bursts the “sustainabubble” by making sustainability integral to product experience and emotion, not an afterthought.
Regeneration
Regenerative farming practices (cover crops, biodiversity, no tillage) rebuild soil health so plants can absorb more nutrients. Healthy soil grows crops with higher nutritional density and better taste. Studies show regenerative grains and vegetables can have 22–58% more vitamins and minerals than conventionally farmed ones.
In practical terms, this means Sol Organica’s sun-ripened mangoes, bananas, pineapples, dragon fruit, coconuts, and passion fruit—whether fresh-frozen as IQF pieces, purees, or solar-dried into snacks—pack an extra punch of potassium, iron, magnesium, and vitamin C. As one regenerative-agriculture report explains, plants in restored soil “access the nutrients they need to grow and thrive,” yielding produce with “higher nutritional content, as well as improved taste and flavor.”
By choosing regenerative-sourced ingredients, food brands can lock in these benefits for their customers. Sol Organica’s IQF fruit pieces, like our vibrant dragon fruit cubes, are picked at peak ripeness and flash-frozen to preserve color, nutrients, and exceptional flavor. Our ready-to-use formats like IQF purees deliver both convenience and indulgence. With no additives, our frozen purees maintain authentic sweetness and smooth texture while delivering key nutrients (for example, our coconut puree is naturally high in potassium and even magnesium). These ingredients make it easy for manufacturers to craft on-trend smoothies, beverage shots, or probiotic sodas—think passionfruit kombucha or dragonfruit cocktails—tapping into the booming gut-health trend.
Purees & Juices: Our Regenerative Organic Certified® fruit purees and juices are made from peak-harvest fruits and processed cold to keep flavor and nutrients intact. These no-sugar-added bases fit seamlessly into health beverages, fermented sodas, or functional snack recipes.
Flours & Powders: Tropical flours and freeze-dried fruit powders are naturally gluten-free, nutrient-rich building blocks. They add unique flavor and fiber while supporting the clean label movement. For example, our banana flour is a whole-fruit source of vitamin B6 and resistant starch, bridging the gap for plant-based diets often supplemented with vitamin B12 (B12 becomes a key selling point in vegetarian/vegan foods).
Solar-Dried Fruits: Our solar-dried tropical fruits make wholesome snacks that evoke comfort and nostalgia, like a treat, sun-warmed and sweet, just as nature intended. The solar-drying process is ultra-low-energy, reinforcing the sustainability story without compromising the full nutrient profile.
Oils: Our cold-pressed oils deliver functional benefits (MCT energy, omegas, antioxidants) and clean-label appeal. For instance, our coconut-based products supply healthy fats and trace magnesium, supporting everything from metabolism to mood
All these formats feed into major wellness drivers. As Numerator’s 2024 industry report notes, 75% of health-focused consumers continue buying vitamins and minerals like vitamin B (including B12) and magnesium. Meanwhile, fermented foods and drinks, such as kombucha, kimchi, and probiotic sodas, have accelerated in popularity, growing 2–3 times faster than supplements. Sol Organica’s ingredients enable brands to meet these demands naturally: imagine kombucha infused with our tangy mango juice or breakfast bowls rich in dragon fruit powder probiotics. Consumers’ choices are driven by emotion as much as nutrition. Smart brands weave these emotional threads into product culture, not just technical specs.
Key emotional drivers include:
Comfort & Nostalgia: People crave foods that remind them of home and health. Think warming ginger shots, tropical smoothies with a bit of indulgence, or Grandma’s fruit compote with a twist. Brands that tap nostalgia often create ease and familiarity, as emotional branding experts note. Sun-dried pineapple or banana bread made with our banana flour can conjure cozy memories while delivering superior nutrients.
Health & Wellness: Above all, consumers want ingredients that feel healthy because they are healthy. Transparent sourcing and clean labels trigger trust. Using organically and regeneratively grown fruits signals “I care about my health and the planet,” meeting this driver head-on.
Indulgence & Pleasure: Even healthy foods must delight the palate. Bright, exotic flavors of passionfruit or creamy richness of coconut engender pure enjoyment. As one branding guide explains, food naturally ties to indulgence; well-crafted taste and texture can spark joy and repeat loyalty. Sol Organica’s flavor-forward purees and smoothie blends satisfy that desire for pleasure without artificial sweeteners or preservatives.
Trust & Safety: Shoppers expect ethical integrity. Every Sol Organica product carries Regenerative Organic and Organic certification, fair-trade agreements, and full traceability. This commitment fosters trust. When brands integrate our certified ingredients, they share that story. Buyers feel assured about what they’re feeding themselves and their children.
Social Connection: Food is inherently social. People bond over shared healthy snacks or wellness rituals. Whether it’s family morning smoothies or friends swapping kombucha recipes, our products facilitate togetherness. Brands can highlight this: e.g., “Our smoothie mix is perfect for game-night gatherings,” echoing research that belonging drives loyalty through community ties.
Convenience: Modern life is busy. Our ready-to-use formats meet the need for quick, wholesome meals. Industry data shows 3 in 5 consumers use convenience foods weekly. Sol Organica’s frozen and shelf-stable products save prep time while still delivering premium nutrition, marrying ease with high quality.
Ethical Impact: Finally, many consumers want their food purchases to reflect positive values. They want to feel good that their choices contribute to environmental renewal and fair livelihoods. By sourcing from smallholder regenerative farms, brands can underscore an ethical narrative, a potent emotional motivator. Aligning with Sol Organica’s mission signals that a company “does the right thing,” reinforcing brand loyalty. These emotional touchpoints not only capture hearts but also build long-term loyalty and brand love.
By weaving sustainability into culture and emotion, rather than treating it as a checkbox, brands can truly burst the sustainabubble. They show consumers that every ingredient, from solar-dried mango to coconut puree, carries a story of care, heritage, and impact.

Microbiomes Matter — From Soil to Shelf
On International Microbiome Day, we celebrate the invisible life force beneath our feet: the soil microbiome — a thriving web of fungi, bacteria, and microorganisms that makes all life above ground possible.
At Sol Organica, we understand that healthy food starts with healthy soil. That’s why we work with smallholder farmers in Nicaragua who use regenerative organic agriculture to restore, protect, and nourish soil ecosystems. We don’t just grow crops — we grow soil health.
🪱 Why the soil microbiome matters:
Much like our gut microbiome supports immunity and digestion, the soil microbiome supports the health of plants. A thriving microbial ecosystem improves nutrient uptake, water retention, and resilience to pests — naturally. No synthetic fertilizers. No harmful chemicals. Just living soil doing what nature designed it to do.
🌿 Our regenerative practices include:
• Composting to feed microbial life
• Cover cropping to prevent erosion and improve biodiversity
• Minimal tillage to preserve soil structure and microbial habitats
• Agroforestry that mimics natural ecosystems and supports long-term regeneration
The result?
✅ Stronger, more resilient crops
✅ Higher-quality, more flavorful ingredients
✅ A cleaner, greener supply chain for your business
✅ A tangible impact on climate resilience and biodiversity
💡 When you partner with Sol Organica, you’re not just sourcing exceptional fruit — you’re investing in a system that regenerates land, empowers farmers, and supports a healthy planet from the ground up.

How Direct Trade Promotes Ethical Business Practices and Stronger Partnerships
By adopting a direct trade model, Sol Organica ensures that ethical business practices aren't just a goal—they're the standard. Through long-term partnerships, transparent processes, and shared values, this model transforms how business is done across borders.
For decades, the global supply chain has favored large corporations, leaving small-scale farmers in the dust. But businesses like Sol Organica are changing that narrative. By adopting a direct trade model, Sol Organica ensures that ethical business practices aren't just a goal—they're the standard. Through long-term partnerships, transparent processes, and shared values, this model transforms how business is done across borders.
What Is Direct Trade and How Does It Differ?
Direct trade goes beyond just cutting out the middleman. It’s about building real, human connections with the farmers who grow your food. Unlike traditional supply chains, where profit often comes at the cost of fairness, direct trade emphasizes mutual benefit. At Sol Organica, this means working directly with farmers across Latin America to ensure they receive fair compensation and ongoing support. This isn't just business—a partnership rooted in trust and transparency.
Ethical Trade Through Long-Term Commitment
Ethical trade isn’t only about paying a fair price. It’s about investing in people. Sol Organica doesn’t just buy products; it invests in the communities that grow them. With projects aimed at clean water access, education, and infrastructure, Sol Organica’s model uplifts entire communities. This long-term commitment creates stronger, more resilient partnerships that stand the test of time.
Farmer Training and Agricultural Innovation
One of the key components of Sol Organica’s direct trade model is the training it provides to farmers. These aren’t one-off workshops but ongoing education programs that teach organic and regenerative agriculture, pest management, and crop diversification. Farmers also receive technical assistance to meet high-quality standards and obtain critical certifications like fair trade, FSA, and organic labels.
This improves the farmers’ yields and ensures that the land is preserved for future generations. It's a win-win for the planet and the people.
Scientific Support for Soil and Crop Health
Another standout feature of Sol Organica’s approach is the emphasis on data and science. The company routinely tests and tracks soil and crop health to guide farming practices. This means less guesswork and more sustainable results. By combining ancestral knowledge with modern science, Sol Organica helps farmers increase productivity without compromising the environment.
Collaboration with Global Stakeholders
Sol Organica doesn’t work in a vacuum. The company amplifies its social and environmental impact through collaboration with customers, governments, and NGOs. These partnerships enable larger-scale projects and policy changes that benefit local communities and global sustainability efforts. The ripple effect of goods starts at the farm and spreads worldwide.
Strengthening Trust With Transparent Practices
Trust isn’t built overnight—it’s earned. Sol Organica builds that trust by making its processes visible and its goals public. Consumers know where their products come from, and farmers know they’re part of a purpose-driven mission. This level of transparency strengthens both sides of the partnership, ensuring everyone wins.
Real Results, Real People
The beauty of Sol Organica’s direct trade model lies in the results you can see. Farmers report increased earnings, better working conditions, and stronger community ties. Consumers enjoy high-quality, ethically sourced products. And the planet gets a break, thanks to sustainable farming techniques.
This isn’t just ethical trade. This is the future of how business should be done.
Building a Better World, One Partnership at a Time
Sol Organica’s direct trade approach is more than a business model—it’s a movement toward fairness, sustainability, and shared success. By investing in farmers, prioritizing environmental health, and engaging transparently with all stakeholders, the company sets a powerful example of what ethical trade should look like.
Whether you're a consumer, a policymaker, or a fellow business leader, Sol Organica invites you to join the journey toward a more just and sustainable world.

Organic Coconut Puree, IQF, Powder and Dried Product Journey
Planting
Young coconuts flourish along the Atlantic coast of Nicaragua. Our farmers use 100% organic and regenerative methods, capturing carbon to benefit the planet. They also employ cover crops to naturally enrich the soil.
We partner directly with over 250 small Nicaraguan farmers to grow and harvest our young coconuts. Through workshops and individual support, we empower farmers to care for their land and improve their harvests while meeting sustainability standards.
We offer fair prices, long-term contracts, and local collection points, making it easier for farmers to sell their young coconuts. This boosts their income and well-being, offering a way to overcome poverty.
Sol Organica is dedicated to regenerative organic agriculture, which goes beyond standard organic practices to restore the environment and support communities. We know our farmers personally and can trace every young coconut back to its origin.
Harvesting
Coconut trees have varying fruit-bearing times based on their type. Dwarf varieties, such as the Brazilian Green Dwarf, typically begin producing coconuts within 3 to 4 years of planting. Tall varieties take longer, usually between 6 to 10 years.
After flowering, coconuts can be harvested for water in approximately 6 to 7 months. This is when coconuts are harvested for our young coconut puree. For coconut meat, an additional 5 to 6 months of maturation is needed, resulting in a total of 10 to 13 months from flower emergence to harvest.
Collection Centers
At our local centers, farmers and Sol Organica staff inspect and weigh each harvest. Farmers receive immediate payment details and updates on any quality-based bonuses. Records are kept and sent with the young coconuts to our processing facility.
Our collection team gathers the young coconuts from various centers in Nicaragua. They visually check the coconuts to ensure they meet our quality requirements.
The selected young coconuts are then transported on Sol Organica's trucks to our processing plant in San Marcos, Carazo, Nicaragua.
Receiving & Processing
At our facility, we verify the quantity, type (organic, regenerative organic), and the farmer's information for each delivery. Our quality control team inspects samples to maintain our premium standards.
The young coconuts are then processed to create our range of organic young coconut products, such as young coconut puree. Our products are 100% natural, with no added sugar, preservatives, or sulfates. We adhere to strict hygiene and food safety standards, including Good Manufacturing Practices and our FSSC 22000 certificatio
Transportation & Storage
The finished product is packed and then shipped in full load containers to the Port of Everglades in Florida, U.S.
For our European customers, our finished products are shipped to Port of Rotterdam in The Netherlands.
Our packaged product is stored in our warehouses in the U.S. and Europe, and then shipped to you and other customers to savor and enjoy!
My Journey in Coconut Farming: From Skepticism to Success
Introduction
My name is Ángela Domitila Chamorro Rodríguez, and at 59 years old, I am proud to be a leading example in my community of Los Cinco, located in the municipality of Kukra Hill, in the South Caribbean Coast Autonomous Region (RACCS). My journey in coconut farming began in 2016, and it has been a story of perseverance, innovation, and community leadership.
The Beginning
In 2016, I embarked on my coconut farming venture by planting 3.87 hectares of Brazilian Green Dwarf coconuts. The genetics were sourced from an NGO called FADCANIC, which financed me at $6 per plant plus transportation. The success of this planting was largely due to the knowledge of my son, who had experience working with African palm trees. He reassured me, saying, "Mama, coconut is the same as palm, and we are going to plant it this way."
Overcoming Skepticism
Initially, my neighbors thought I was crazy for planting coconuts. They laughed and urged me to cut them down and raise cattle instead. They believed that buyers preferred Indian (creole) and hybrid coconuts over the variety I had planted. Despite the skepticism, I persisted, driven by a vision for the future.
Partnership with Sol Organica
In September 2019, a representative from Sol Organica. visited me and explained their coconut project, including the benefits, price, requirements, and export varieties. At first, the proposal seemed illogical to many of us, as we were accustomed to immediate payment upon delivery. However, I saw potential in the project and decided to give it a try.
In December 2019, I delivered 642 coconuts to test the waters. By April 2020, under new management, I sent my second load of 1,104 fruits. As time passed, I saw that my coconut plants were thriving, and I began asking for business references from other producers. By the end of the year, I was working with more confidence.
Early Harvests and Expansion
The first harvests began in 2019, and I sold dry coconuts for 3 córdobas each. To boost the industry, I started making nurseries and sold plants to acquaintances for 5 córdobas, encouraging them to invest for the future. Coconut farming was a more economical option compared to the African palm trees being planted by Cukra Development in the municipality.
Benefits and Achievements
Working with Sol Organica brought numerous benefits. They opened a bank account for me, provided a card, technical assistance, and organized talks about cultivation. They supervised the cuts, planned collection days, and explained each delivery in a formal manner. From 2021 onwards, I started sending more coconuts and equipped myself with the right tools to work comfortably.
In 2023, I carried out the second planting of 3.78 hectares, combining hybrid and pure varieties to cater to both dry and water coconut markets. In 2024, I planted 7.69 hectares of the water variety, Brazilian Green Dwarf, and expand further in the coming years.
Looking Ahead
Currently, I almost fill half a trailer with coconuts, and every time the truck parks in front of my house, I feel proud of my achievements. Within three years, I aim to send a whole trailer to the factory by myself.
My journey in coconut farming has been one of resilience and growth. From being the only producer in my community to becoming a trusted supplier for Sol Organica., I have seen the benefits of hard work and innovation. I look forward to expanding my farm and continuing to contribute to the prosperity of my community.
Farmer Spotlight: Don Julio Cesar Baltodano
This month, the arrival of the Pitahaya (dragon fruit) season marks not only the harvest of this vibrant, nutrient-rich fruit but also the dedication of the farmers who cultivate it with care. Julio Cesar Baltodano Ramos is one such farmer, whose deep connection to the land and commitment to sustainable agriculture have helped him build a better future for his family.
For years, Julio poured his time and energy into growing high-quality Pitahaya, yet he struggled to find stable and fair markets for his fruit. Before partnering with Sol Organica, he faced several challenges that made it difficult to earn a reliable income.
One of the biggest obstacles was inconsistent demand. Without direct access to reliable buyers, Julio was forced to sell his fruit at local markets, where prices fluctuated constantly. Some days, he was able to sell his Pitahaya at a decent price, while other days, he had to accept much lower offers, or worse, watch his fruit go unsold and spoil.
"Before, it was difficult to sell our fruit at a fair price," Julio shares. "Many times, I had to sell to intermediaries who would offer very low prices, and we had no choice but to accept. It was frustrating because we put so much effort into growing a high-quality product, yet we weren’t being paid fairly for it."
Another challenge was transportation and logistics. Small farmers like Julio often lack the resources to bring their fruit to bigger markets, leaving them dependent on middlemen who take a large cut of the profit. Without direct access to buyers willing to pay a premium for organic, sustainably grown Pitahaya, farmers like Julio were unable to fully benefit from their hard work.
That’s where Sol Organica’s direct trade model makes a difference.
By working directly with smallholder farmers, Sol Organica eliminates unnecessary intermediaries, ensuring that farmers receive fair, transparent pricing for their harvests. Through this partnership, Julio and many others now have access to a stable, long-term market, removing the uncertainty of selling at local markets or relying on middlemen.
"Working with Sol Organica has changed everything," Julio explains. "Now, we have consistent buyers, and I can invest more in my farm and my family. I don’t have to worry about whether my fruit will sell or if I’ll be forced to take a low price."
Beyond fair pricing, Sol Organica provides technical support, training, and resources to help farmers enhance their agricultural practices. Through guidance on organic farming methods, soil health, and sustainable cultivation techniques, Julio has been able to improve both the quality and yield of his harvests.
"We don’t use chemicals that harm the land. Instead, we focus on organic techniques that keep the soil healthy and our fruit fresh and flavorful," he explains.
By supporting smallholder farmers through out in the field direct trade model, Sol Organica empowers communities, strengthens local economies, and promotes sustainable agriculture. Julio’s success is a testament to the power of ethical business practices that prioritize both people and the planet.
