Sugarcane of Cresol

Today we have another group of people and whose products we would like to feature.

Mrs. Sueli and Mr. Estefano, a couple of family farmers affiliated with Cresol cooperative, have one daughter and two grandchildren. In addition to several products for family consumption, they focus a good part of their property in the cultivation of sugar cane for the production of derivatives, such as brown sugar, molasses and cane juice, all produced by them, manually and with old techniques. They sell their products at the cooperative fair that is part of Seed Project 15 (Awaken Women for the Future), which seeks resources to improve the current structure of the fair, bringing more visitors and credibility to greater financial returns to Mrs. Sueli and all other participating families.

Here, Mrs. Sueli (right) serves sugar cane juice to members of Moeda, including its CEO, Taynaah Reis (middle).

Here are a number of things they grow and produce, including brown sugar, beans, and limes. The bottom picture shows Mrs. Sueli making a traditional Brazilian candy made of sugarcane.

Here they show Ms. Reis some of the old-fashioned tools they use to produce their sugar.

And here the great couple show off their grandchildren!

More to come soon!
