We work in partnership

To ensure a long-lasting impact beyond the life of a project we connect producers directly with markets. We partner with companies that not only aim to invest in improving coffee quality and yields, but also in the systems that make possible those improvements for the future, such as higher prices, good genetic material for planting, and more direct, feasible and profitable supply chains for smallholder farmers.

Our partnerships

This alliance is focused on the implementation of the communication strategy, which includes a radio program to broadcast information on good practices in coffee growing to some 10 thousand producers during the social distancing measures implemented due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, in 3 of the 7 coffee growing regions in the departments of: San Marcos, Quetzaltenango, Sololá, Suchitepéquez, Quiché, Chiquimula and Zacapa.
