PROBALSAMO – Chiltiupan, La Libertad, El Salvador.

This process was set up by an NGO to help facilitate self employment in the small community. Despite the rustic simplicity and very low technology in the collection and processing of the Balsam the operation yields a high quality product. The primary market is domestic but Balsam is exported as a raw material for further processing in various goods like salves and shampoos.
