FEDECOCAGUA provides credit, technical support, transport, warehousing, and the purchase, processing and export of members’ coffee beans. An organic conversion programme has been established and this coffee is the first fruits of its success. This coffee is grown in Guatemala’s Huehuetenango, Coban, Verapaces, Retalhuleu, San Marcos & Zacapa regions. The UN report that children receive an average 1-2 years of education. Despite output increasing, Guatemala’s income from coffee has diminished by a third since the 90’s. Difficult economic conditions and poor infrastructure, health and education are being reversed by FEDECOAGUA. 90% of farmers’ income comes from coffee. Just 2% of production is certified organic, so this shade-grown coffee represents the best of the best.
