Aj Ticonel sold $2.5 million worth of vegetables last year,
but Mr. Monterroso, a sociologist and deal maker with a
passion for justice, paid himself only $18,000. Most of the
company's profits are plowed back into the plant, marketing
campaigns and agricultural education for the farmers.
"I want a different country for my sons," Mr. Monterroso
said. "I'm trying to redistribute the wealth so people will
live in harmony."
We need more Monterrosos and less Ken Lays.
