Is a cooperative of nearly 3,400 members, including 1,399 women members, in the northwestern department of Huehuetenango, Guatemala. These remote communities include many indigenous villages primarily in the Cuchumatanes Mountain Range. Unlike some cooperatives established to market coffee, ACODIHUE began with a mission to reduce poverty and food insecurity, which makes the organization a natural partner for Food 4 Farmers. The cooperative markets and sells coffee and honey. They manage a variety of programs including women’s empowerment, opportunities for young people, restoring and conserving fragile ecosystems, sustainable agricultural practices, and much more.
