I ve continued a little bit in my investigation around available products in Costa Rica which are not produced/importet by Florida Bebidas or Coca-Cola. I ve actually found some few products.

The cooperative Dos Pinos produces dairy products as well as different juices and distributes them in almost all countries of Central America. This indicates that the cooperative is actually quite big and it is not that easy to avoid their products in Costa Rica. Actually Dos Pinos produces 85 % of the industrialised milk in Costa Rica.
But actually there are dairy products made by other cooperatives like for example Coronado or the cheese factory Monteverde.

Another product without connections to the Florida Bebidas is the Nicaraguan Ron Flor da Caña. According to their own website they do produce all sugar cane they need in an organic way and produce additional electricity which provides 8 % thermal electricity needs. A group of former employees of Flor de Caña does not share this point of view and call for a boycott of all Flor de Caña Products.

Yesterday I ve found as well an alternative to the beer produced by the Cerveceria Nacional, which is part of Florida Bebidas. A Microbrewery in Cartago, called K&S, produces four different kind of beers and distributes them to Pubs and restaurants almost all over the country. Unfortunately I ve not discovered and reseller of these beers so I can t buy any to drink at home.
