Asociación Sostenible de Productores de Guatemala – ASPROGUATE

The organization represents 1500 smallholder producers from Cobán and Acatenango. This organization is committed to allowing small landholders better access to the international coffee market, with potential for growth.

The coffee farms are located as high as 2,000 meters above sea level, and the region’s distinct seasons allow for sun-drying along with traditional and artisanal processing methods. In the more rainforest-like climate of Cobán, the coffee grows in soils rich with limestone and clay. This area is characterized by heavy clouds, cool temperatures and precipitation most of the year, with an astounding average annual rainfall.
