Producer Story

Produced by the inspiring Red de Mujeres, or 'network of women', a large group of female specialty coffee producers covering five different areas of Huehuetenango. All of these women have been either widowed during the 36 years of civil war in Guatemala, or were left when their husbands fled the country during the coffee crisis between 2001 and 2004.

Since Huehuetenango was one of the areas hardest hit by the crisis, many people decided to give up altogether and find work elsewhere, leaving their families behind. With the help of ACODIHUE, these female producers have been united to market their coffee and find international buyers. The group is made up of 830 women, who speak 8 different Mayan languages spoken, highlighting the diversity of culture and language in this area of Guatemala.  ACODIHUE has also supported them in training in organic farming methods.
