Background

The cooperative Integral Agrícola Cocolense currently consists of 127 small producers of organic coffee in the mountain range Sierra de los Cuchumatanes in Huehuetenango, western Guatemala. About 20% of the member farmers are women, opening an alternative source of income to their families. The coffee cultivated in diverse agroforestry systems fulfills the highest standards and offers a sustainable land use to the communities, reducing the usage pressure on the surrounding forests.
