Cesmach
Community Partner in Chiapas, Mexico
CESMACH is a coffee cooperative of 660 members in Chiapas, Mexico. Most of their farmers grow coffee organically in the El Triunfo Bioreserve buffer zone, an area that protects the nearby and important cloud forest and tropical rainforest ecosystems. We began working with CESMACH in 2013, after coffee rust struck and devastated coffee farms throughout Latin America, to develop effective long-term strategies to overcome food insecurity and inadequate coffee livelihoods.
