en.Wedoany.com Reported - The National Forest and Wildlife Service of Peru (Serfor), through the Cajamarca Forest and Wildlife Technical Administration (ATFFS), delivered 170 Agroforestry System Use Transfer Contracts (CCUSAF) to 133 coffee and cocoa-producing families in the provinces of San Ignacio and Jaén, creating conditions to enhance development opportunities for local residents.
According to the contract distribution, 110 CCUSAF were delivered to producing families in the Tabaconas District of San Ignacio Province, with the handover ceremony held in the Tamborapa village; the remaining 60 CCUSAF were granted to producers in the San José del Alto District of Jaén Province, with the gathering taking place in the Peña Blanca village. The total area covered by all signed contracts is 196.27 hectares.
CCUSAF are rights certificates recognized under the Forest and Wildlife Law, allowing agricultural, forestry, and livestock activities on forest and protected lands in compliance with sustainability standards. This mechanism provides legal security for producers and facilitates access to technical assistance, financing, and incentives oriented toward sustainable rural development.
During the delivery ceremony, Héctor Vidaurre Arévalo, Director General of Forest and Wildlife Knowledge Management at Serfor, emphasized that CCUSAF not only provide legal support to producing families but also consolidate their productive activities. He stated that these contracts represent new opportunities for technical assistance, credit, and other support provided by the state. Previously, producers could not access the farmers' registry; now they can become part of this system and participate in programs such as AgroRural or Agroideas.
This delivery of CCUSAF is a key initiative by Serfor to bring forest services closer to citizens and promote the sustainable use of forest resources, contributing to the well-being of producing families and the sustainable development of the region. This achievement is the result of joint efforts by Serfor through ATFFS Cajamarca, the Ministry of the Environment (Minam) through the FOLUR project, the Forest and Wildlife Resources Supervisory Agency (Osinfor), the National Institute for Agricultural Innovation (INIA), the Cajamarca Regional Government, local governments, and other actors committed to the sustainable development of the area. Through this delivery, Serfor promotes CCUSAF as a key tool to strengthen legal security, foster sustainable management of agroforestry systems, and create more opportunities for producing families in the country.
