PURPOSE

1) Initiate a Technical Assistance Model led by a network
of rural youth that increases productivity and quality;
This new model serves as a Pilot Model.
2) Unify the different internal certification processes
within Aldea Coffee and by doing so decrease the
costs that come along with the certifications: Fairtrade
(FLO), Organic (NOP, USDA, CEE), Rainforest Alliance, UTZ,
“Manos de Mujer” (Women’s coffee), Cafe
Practices, Smallholder Farmer Symbol.
3) Use environmentally friendly agricultural technologies
and practices, including improvements in the processes
for washing coffee, climate smart practices and so on.

This project was possible thanks to the support of Aldea Coffee, Cafenica, CIAT, Maison Josy Juckem and EFICO Central America/EFICO Foundation and ran from December 2016 to November 2019.
