Sol y Café:

- Founded in 2005

- Acquired necessary organic and sustainable trading certificates quickly, and moved from only 27 clusters of producer based groups to more than 60, which is about 1000 farmer families.

- Achieves export levels around 80% of total harvest.

- Coop Coffees "began importing from Sol y Café only a few short seasons ago. However, due to the excellent communication, coffee quality and services to their members, Sol y Café has quickly become a solid and integral member of the Coop Coffees producer partner network."
