Why choose organic farming?
The Apaneca Ilamatepec region was hit by the Rust, a very serious epidemic, which had serious consequences for coffee production. It destroyed many plantations, forcing growers to replant coffee trees with more resistant varieties over a period of 10 years.
In 2005, well aware of the future challenges of climate change, the cooperative decided to enter the organic market. They encountered difficulties, however, as coffee was more complicated to produce and yields were low. As the cost/benefit ratio was low, many producers withdrew from the cooperative, dropping from 23 to 11. These 11 producers have come together to tackle the instability of production on each farm and offer you a coffee that has risen from the ashes!

The region Apaneca Ilamatepec
The Apaneca – Ilamatepec mountain range, located in western El Salvador, is one of the most important coffee-growing regions in the country. It accounts for approximately 60% of the country's coffee production, thanks to its fertile, volcanic soils and favorable climate for the development and production of specialty coffee. This region is home to approximately 78,000 hectares of coffee plantations, distributed across the departments of Ahuachapán, Sonsonate, and Santa Ana. Economically, this mountain range generates thousands of direct and indirect jobs, from nursery planting to the wet & dry processing to the final bean preparation.
The Apaneca – Ilamatepec mountain range is also home to a rich biodiversity, with cloud forests that protect endemic species of flora and fauna, in addition to recharging aquifers and mitigating climate change, serving as an important green lung and ecological corridor in the region.

A few words about Les producteurs du projet PHOENIX
This project is supported by several producers who have been present on the slopes of the Chingo volcano for a long time, but also by young producers who have recently settled in the area. They have the ambition to keep producers on site and to keep coffee growing alive in the long term.
