THE NATIONAL FEDERATION OF COFFEE GROWERS (FNC) was founded in 1927 to build the prosperity of the Colombian coffee farmers
The Colombian Coffee Federation (FNC) is entirely owned and controlled by Colombia's coffee farmers, (cafeteros) of whom there are over 500,000.
By joining together in the Federation the farmers achieve the benefits, and power, that only a large organization can provide. This is especially important, as the average size of an individual coffee farm in Colombia is around 2 hectares. Everything the Federation does is for the benefit of all coffee farmers. All profits are channeled back to the cafeteros and their communities.
One important and direct result of the Federation's work is that Colombian Coffee, today sells at a significant price premium on the international coffee market, providing a higher standard of living for the cafeteros.
The Colombian Coffee Federation represents commercially successful fair-trading, proven over 70 years.
The Price Guarantee: A buffer against a volatile and unpredictable international coffee market The farmers are guaranteed an adequate, stable income.
Extra revenue generated when international prices are higher is held in reserve in order to maintain a minimum price when the international price drops. In the early 1990's this system served to compensate the farmer's $1.5 billion shortfall.
Each Cafetero is paid directly by the FNC, and just as important, they will always buy the farmer's coffee.
However, the farmers are under no obligation to sell to the Federation, as it has no form of commercial monopoly. In fact, there are over 50 private shippers and 40 co-operatives operating in the Colombian coffee trade.

Amerisur Resources plc (stock exchange symbol: AMER.L), a Company incorporated in the United Kingdom, is primarily involved in oil & natural gas exploration in Paraguay and Colombia.
Background
Amerisur Resources plc is an AIM listed oil and gas explorer and developer focussed in South America. Its key areas of exploration and development are in Colombia and Paraguay.
Colombia
Amerisur is focusing on developing its contracts in Colombia, where in recent years a fundamental change in the fiscal laws and an overhaul of the state's management of hydrocarbon exploration and production permits created a very favourable investment environment. The country boasts a well established petroleum industry with highly productive basins, yet remains largely undrilled and hence the Company views there remains significant opportunity to explore.
Amerisur is focused on lower risk opportunities aiming to deliver significant medium term cash flows through strong high level relationships in Colombia.
Amerisur is working with strategic joint-venture partners (Expet S.A.), who have many years of experience operating in Colombia, and through whom it has been seeking to participate in exploration and production (E&P) concessions.
Amerisur is focused on the following two areas:
~ Platanillo / Alea
On 3rd October 2005 the Company announced a joint venture with Repsol to exploit the Platanillo block in the Putumayo Basin (on the Ecuadorian border) whereby the Company could earn a 25% equity share by farming into a project containing a discovery well (Alea 1) which had been capped in 1988, but which had flowed at 533 barrels per day. Amerisur's 100% carrying commitment was capped at $7.4m in order to earn its equity share (thereafter any additional expenditure is shared by the partners pro-rata to their holding) and involves re-entering the first well, building an access road and drilling a step-out well to determine the size of the field.
The Company announced in October 2006 that ECP had advised that it was actively investigating other rig options to the very expensive helicopter-supported operation that would be necessary to commence the re-entry and drilling programme before January 2007 (the end of Year 1). Recently imposed new environmental regulations had caused delays in environmental licencing for the access road and drill site and thus ECP was forced to consider a faster but more costly route to the site.
The Company announced in December 2006 that ECP had obtained approval from the ANH to amalgamate years 1 and 2 of the E&P contract. This allows ECP to plan and implement a logical operations programme, accommodating the new environmental requirements without resort to the helicopter-supported operation.
The Company and operator received the environmental license in April 2007, which enables the Company to make significant progress. The maintenance of existing road and upgrade of the two bridges is making excellent progress, and is now 65% complete. We estimate that this will be largely complete by the end of the first half of 2007.
The Company continues to make progress with its Platanillo block, which has existing contingent and prospective resources with the Alea discovery, and the Company anticipates a very busy period ahead on the block it drives forward the work programme to deliver near term production.
~ Fenix Block
Amerisur announced in April 2007 under the new management team that it has signed a farm-in agreement with Fenix Oil and Gas SA to earn a substantial interest in the Fenix Block, an area of 24,117 hectares located in the Middle Magdalena Basin of Colombia.
The Middle Magdalena basin lies between the eastern and central ranges of the Andes mountains and has been a prolific producer of oil over many years with discovered reserves of approximately 1.9 billion barrels of oil and 2.5 TCF of gas in over 41 distinct fields. The Fenix Block is located in a thrusted section of the basin which is structurally complex, and is on trend with some of the most significant discoveries in the area. Recent renewed exploration success in the basin by other operators has been largely due to the application of modern 3D seismic technology and enhanced structural modelling techniques which have enabled the accurate mapping of complex structures.
Amerisur will earn a net 48.75% interest in this block by paying 100% of the cost of a 3D seismic survey of approximately 100km2 during the phase 1 period of 18 months and drilling one exploratory well to approximately 8,000 feet in the phase 2 period of 14 months. The operator of the block is Fenix Oil and Gas SA. Amerisur is fully funded for the phase 1 commitment. Monies are currently held in escrow by Banco de Credito in Bogota, Colombia.
The assignment of interest to Amerisur by Fenix under the farm-in agreement is currently pending approval by Agencia Nacional de Hidrocarburos.
Paraguay
The Company has several established interesting areas for exploration in Paraguay.
All three licenses in Paraguay are held 100% by Amerisur. They are situated in the Paraná and Curupayty basins. Although no commercial hydrocarbon reserves have yet been discovered in Paraguay, these basins are shared with adjoining countries where production exists. The Curupayty basin is shared with Bolivia to the north, the Paraná with Brazil to the west.
~ San Pedro Permit
This Exploration and Production (E&P) permit covers approximately 800,000 hectares in the north west of the Paraná basin. Approximately 1,000 km of 2D seismic data has been reprocessed in Bogotá, and in currently being interpreted by a geophysical consultancy in Perth, Australia. The Company expects to receive the results of that interpretation within the next months. The environmental permit required for seismic acquisition work was granted in January 2007, and we expect to begin acquisition of new data within this prospective block during 2007.
~ Alto Paraná (formerly Canindeyu) Permit
Alto Paraná is located in the west-central portion of the Paraná basin, in the east of Paraguay, contiguous with the Paraguay-Brazil border. This block was granted as an evaluation permit on 31st October 2006 and the company is in the process of executing the conversion of the contract to E&P status. The Presidential decree authorising the contract has been issued and the Company awaits ratification by congress. The block currently extends over 1.7 million hectares, and this will be reduced to approximately 800,000 hectares once the E&P process is completed. The Company initiated the environmental licensing process in January 2007, and subsequent to reprocessing and interpretation of existing data, we expect to acquire new 2D data during 2008.
~ Curupayty Permit
This block is held as an E&P permit. After initial studies, some parts of the Curupayty block were relinquished in line with contractual terms, and the block now extends over approximately 800,000 hectares of the Curupayty basin located in the very north of Paraguay, close to the border with Bolivia.
The existing data in the block was reprocessed and interpreted during 2006. The exploration potential of this area is currently being evaluated.
For various reasons, the country has seen comparatively little exploration activity to date, but it is of interest due to commercial extraction of hydrocarbons having been made in adjoining countries from hydrocarbon basins which extend into Paraguay. All the historical seismic data relative to the concessions has now been obtained and is currently being re-processed using modern computers and analytical programmes. On completion of this first phase, the Company plans to review its strategic options in terms of doing further seismic work and/or initiating a drilling programme. The Company's stated intention is to bring in farm-in partners for this second phase.

Hiscox, headquartered in Bermuda is a specialist insurer, underwriting a particular range of personal and commercial risks.
We believe that by specialising we can deliver real value to our customers in our chosen areas. We do not deal in 'commodity' insurance, but concentrate on insurance where brains make a difference to each transaction.
A fundamental criterion in all our underwriting is that who we insure is more important than what we insure. By dealing only with honest and careful customers, we will have fewer claims and be able to quote wider cover with lower premiums, backed by rapid and fair payment of claims and excellent service.
Our focus gives us two significant and distinctive advantages. First, we can often insure risks other companies find too complex or unusual to cover; second, we can tailor policies very closely to the individual customer's requirements.
This combination of selectivity and exceptional expertise has, over the course of a century, driven us from a single underwriter based at Lloyd's into a FTSE 250 company with offices in 13 countries and customers around the world

Marsh es una unidad operativa de Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. (MMC), una empresa global de servicios profesionales con unos 60.000 empleados e ingresos anuales superiores a los 12.000 millones de dólares.
Historia
Hemos liderado por casi cinco décadas el servicio de corretaje de seguros y administración de riesgos, con oficinas en las 9 principales ciudades del país. De hecho, DeLima fue el primer corredor de seguros en Colombia y hemos sido fuente permanente de innovación en el manejo de los riesgos y de los seguros.
Nuestros clientes son empresas de diversa índole en los sectores privado y público. Atendemos además, los seguros de personas mediante unidades especializadas. Tenemos clientes en todas las actividades económicas, lo que nos da la mayor experiencia en el mercado nacional.
Es por eso que, a través de los años, hemos desarrollado una gran actividad en los mercados internacionales, estableciendo relaciones con aseguradoras, reaseguradoras, ajustadores y corredores de seguros. Capacitamos nuestra gente localmente y en el exterior, a fin de actualizarlos profesionalmente para que puedan guiar a nuestros clientes hacia las más avanzadas formas de transferencia del riesgo.
Esta conciencia sobre la globalidad de nuestro negocio nos llevó a establecer en 1957 una relación de corresponsalía con Marsh & McLennan, Inc. la firma de corretaje más grande del mundo la cual fue evolucionando y se fue estrechando con el correr de los años.
Desde agosto de 1999, cuando anunciamos la negociación celebrada entre DeLima y Marsh Inc., hemos adelantado un proceso de reestructuración que nos permitió iniciar el año 2000 fortalecidos con la vinculación de tan importante socio, razón por la cuál a partir de ese año tenemos nuevo nombre y nueva imagen corporativa.
En efecto, antes de finalizar 1999, las firmas corredoras de seguros que llevaban nuestro nombre en nueve ciudades del país, se fusionaron en una sola compañía, absorbiendo luego ésta el portafolio de negocios de J & H Marsh & McLennan de Colombia, firma con la cual nos fusionamos. Al iniciarse el año 2000, registramos nuestro nuevo nombre como "DeLima Marsh" y para dar cumplimiento a requisitos legales nos hemos transformado en sociedad anónima, en la cual los accionistas colombianos mantienen una muy importante participación.
Al absorber DeLima la cartera de negocios de J&H Marsh & McLennan de Colombia, nuestro volumen de negocios se ha incrementado sensiblemente, fortaleciéndonos ante el mercado asegurador y enriqueciendo nuestra experiencia técnica y comercial. Además, al recibir como accionista a Marsh Inc., la primera firma corredora de seguros del mundo y la cual conocemos ampliamente por haber actuado durante 43 años como sus corresponsales en Colombia, accedemos directamente a la tecnología y al respaldo administrativo y técnico del grupo MMC. Este cuenta con cerca de 55.000 funcionarios en más de 100 países del mundo, con una capitalización corporativa cercana a 20 mil millones de dólares y muy en especial, con códigos de comportamiento tan estrictos y sólidos como los que han distinguido a DeLima desde su fundación en 1953.
Todo lo anterior nos permitirá prestar mejores servicios a nuestros clientes y acentuar aún más nuestro liderazgo en el corretaje de seguros en Colombia

I am 26 years old and have been working for Groupe Danone for 2 years within a new project on organic yogurt. I have spent the last 10 months as Marketing and Sales Coordinator for “Stony yogurt on a mission” (Danone UK organic yogurt brand) and prior to this I worked in Danone France as Trade Developer Assistant for “Les 2 Vaches des fermiers du bio” (Danone France organic yogurt brand). At the same time I obtained an MBA degree from Sup de Co Montpellier.
Before this I worked in Colombia for Ingeaguas SA, a Water Treatment company as Customer Service Manager after finishing my university studies in Business Administration in 2004.
After 2 years working in organics I became very passionate about organic and sustainable business concept, built around a natural and social responsible environment that works to make a better planet. This passion for organics, my family entrepreneurial background and the potential of Colombian organic products on international markets make me think about creating my own company.
I have already started doing some research and Organic Products Market has increased constantly in recent years and international trends show a big potential on this category for the following years. I am currently trying to identify key factors to entry on the organic food market and how could be the best way to start a business around this idea.
I would like to join the British and Colombian Chamber of Commerce because it is a great platform and can help me to identify the best way to make this project reality.
Thank you for taking some time to read my profile.
Sincerely,
Alexandra Naranjo

Within the legal sphere, my knowledge has evolved in interpreting and providing written translations for the defence, Home Office, CPS and Police forces such as Kent Constabulary and Hertfordshire Constabulary in a number of high profile criminal cases predominantly dealing with drug importation, money laundering and fraud. In addition, I have occasionally assisted The Metropolitan Police, SOCA and British Transport Police.
I have also provided my services as a freelance Translator to governmental bodies dealing with criminal and governmental matters such as HM Revenue and Customs and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. This includes translation of legal, technical and commercial documents.
During the past 8 years I have established a reputation for high quality work carried out and professionalism as an Interpreter and Translator with a number of Councils such as Haringey Council, Camden Council and Islington Council. My services conducted for the abovementioned councils have encompassed the Health, Social Services, Education, Benefits and Housing sectors.
Within the commercial sphere, I have provided my services as a freelance Interpreter and Translator for a variety of companies, including those involved in international development projects within the Oil & Gas Industry at the highest Government level.
In addition to the above, I am a registered Interpreter and Translator in several consulates based on the UK including the Colombian Consulate.
