Nicaragua Tierra Madre - Women Producers, 1 lb (16 oz)
Tierra Madre is produced exclusively by 125 women coffee producers in Jinotega,
who receive a premium based on coffee that meets a high-quality standard. This coffee is a blend from multiple women-owned farms. The average farm size is 5 hectares. Aldea Global works in more than 700 rural communities, providing these small farmer members with technical assistance, micro-crediting, marketing services, and educating producers on agroecological practices such as in-row tillage, diversified cropping, soil and water conservation. They also prioritize marketing to help producers move up the value chain. From 2013 to 2022, their specialty coffee exports to the U.S. and Europe grew from 68 containers to 452 containers. This progress is a testament to what a strong, producer-led organization can do to strengthen coffee-growing communities.
