About our Nicaragua PRODECOOP Coffee

This coffee is roasted with Fair Trade, Organic beans from Promotora de Desarollo Cooperativa de las Segovias (PRODECOOP). It is a secondary cooperative made up of 38 base coops and over 2,700 individual producers. Of these 27% are women, around 50% are certified organic and 100% certified fair trade. The vast majority of PRODECOOP’s members are located in three coffee-producing departments in the north of Nicaragua: Estelí, Madriz and Nueva Segovias. Depending on the area the growing altitude can range from 1,200 – 1,500 masl, and most farmers are working with Caturra & Bourbon varieties.

PRODECOOP stands out for their holistic and altruistic commitment to their members’ well-being. Included in their core values are gender and generational equity, climate change adaptation, food security and a democratic leadership structure.
