Honduras El Portillo Natural Parainema

This coffee was developed with the women producers of ARGCAFEE in Argelia, Cauca. It is an association founded in 2014 to create better market access and stronger pricing for smallholder farmers in a historically remote region. What began with 17 members has grown to more than 230 producers working collectively to improve quality, infrastructure, and buyer relationships.

Seventy-eight women currently contribute to this program, with more preparing to join. Through dedicated premiums and direct traceability, the Women Producer initiative ensures that the value of their work is recognized and compensated accordingly. When women are empowered, the impact extends beyond the farm by strengthening families, stabilizing communities, and encouraging the next generation to remain in coffee.

This lot is also part of the Coca Substitution Program, a partnership that supports legal, sustainable crops and reduces reliance on illicit cultivation. Through nursery support, agronomic training, and guaranteed premium purchasing, ARGCAFEE is building long-term pathways toward economic resilience. This coffee represents that broader shift: quality-driven production paired with measurable community investment.
