Ambassador Newsletter- Producer News
One of our producers in Nicaragua, UCA San Juan de Rio Coco, wrote to us recently to tell us what they had used their fairtrade premium for. UCA San Juan de Rio Coco are a first floor coffee cooperative of 330 farmers, who produce 70% Fairtrade Organic coffee and 30% conventional Fairtrade coffee. With their FLO premium they focus on the education of the children of their cooperative members for the past few harvests. They have provided each child of each cooperative member with a school kit (notebooks, backpack, uniform and shoes) which has allowed 90% of the children to be able to attend school.
The cooperative also have their own website which you may like to visit here.
