Honduras | Comayagua & El Paraiso Fairtrade

About this coffee

Coffees are from a selected range of certified Organic & Fairtrade farms throughout South and Central Honduras. We all need to understand what coffee actually costs to be produced sustainably. Farmers need fair pay. There are almost 775,709 coffee farmers in the Fairtrade system, making up almost half of all Fairtrade farmers and workers. By getting together in small producer organisations, farmers can negotiate better terms of trade and reach more markets. Fairtrade is a safety net that offers coffee farmers stability in the unpredictable global market. This security protects them from sudden price drops, allows them to better plan financially and make the investments that would increase their income for the future. Cooperatives can invest in value adding equipment like roasting machines, or branch out into new areas such as agrotourism.
