Mercado de trueque Grupo Herdez

Mercado de Trueque

El Mercado del Trueque es una iniciativa de comercio justo con la que contribuimos a mejorar la calidad de vida de las familias beneficiadas por el programa Saber Nutrir, a través de la compra-venta de los productos que cosechan o producen en huertos familiares, a precios competitivos.

En este proyecto, nuestros colaboradores de oficinas corporativas intercambian residuos reciclables como cartón, latas, papel, PET, tetrapak y vidrio, por hortalizas, hierbas, frutas y bordados provenientes de la comunidad mazahua del Estado de México.

Después de cuatro ediciones, éstos son nuestros resultados: 

  • Hemos beneficiado a 6 comunidades Mazahuas 
  • Hemos recolectado cerca de 3 toneladas de  materiales reciclables (cartón, latas, papel, PET, Tetrapack y vidrio.) 
  • Hemos adquirido un total de 994 kg de productos, generando un ingreso extra a las familias mazahua de $800, aproximadamente, por familia por edición. 

* El ingreso promedio usual por familia es de $700 por semana, proveniente de diferentes actividades, sin tomar en cuenta el Mercado del Trueque.
