• The cooperative was founded on 20 July 2018 and is located in the Sierra Mariscal, in the South of Chiapas in a very mountainous region up to an elevation of 1.700 meters. The cooperative comprises 160 coffee farmers (35 women, 125 men).

• Their objective is to sell to the international market instead of the intermediaries to generate an added value for the small farmers and so to increase the familiar income.

• The main problem they are facing is the lack of funds to gather the harvested coffee.
