Organization:
The coffee producers of SPOSEL are located in the six neighboring communities of the ecological reserves „Lagoon Nahá“ and „Lagoon Metzabok“.
These people were re-located in the seventies by the government to get cultivated land for the indigenous people from the valley of Bajachón and Yajalón. This is why these people also speak the indigenous languages Tzeltal and Ch’ol.
SPOSEL participates actively in programs of reforestation financed by the government (project „sowing life“) and its client EZA Fairer Handel GmbH in Austria.
They had sent coffee in a sailing boat to Europe to raise awareness among consumers about the ecological impact of container ships.
SPOSEL has its own roaster and sells roasted and ground high-quality coffee to cafeterías in Mexico City.
SPOSEL is formed by 289 members, 46 women and, 216 men.
