PROFILE
ABOUT THE PRODUCER
La Morena
In Guatemala, gender equality remains a challenge, and coffee has long been a male-dominated industry. These factors have made it incredibly difficult for women to compete and thrive in the coffee world. That's why we’re thrilled to offer La Morena as a platform to showcase the work of women farmers across Guatemala.
The La Morena microlot was produced by eleven female farmers from Huehuetenango. The Volcafe Way program - our parent company’s farm support program – was instrumental in helping these producers deliver this high quality coffee. Since they started working with the Volcafe Way they have increased the quality of their coffee, yields, and as a consequence, started earning more. In teaching these producers best practices, their farms are turning out excellent coffee and becoming viable businesses.
We salute the La Moreno farmers for their passion and commitment!
