A robust variety grown without pesticides
Valle de Oro is one of MAV Coffee's 3 farms. Here, nothing is left to chance, starting with the variety produced on the farm: Marsellesa.
It was selected by Lean Coffee Management, which manages MAV's agricultural project, for its high resistance to rust, its robustness against the wind and rain that affect the region with increasing frequency, and its ability to produce quality and quantity at medium altitudes.
On the subject of inputs, the farm is pesticide-free. The coffee trees are protected by the grasses that grow naturally at their feet. These grasses feed the insects that would otherwise feed on the coffee leaves. This way, MAV also avoids using insecticides.
To continue to preserve its coffee trees and regenerate the farm each year, Valle de Oro is managed as follows: the coffee trees are planted in rows, and each row is pruned differently from one year to the next:
- Row 1 generates 65% of the harvest ;
- Row 2 is in the recovery phase and generates 25% of the harvest. It will take the place of row 1 next year ;
- Row n°3 is pruned to generate 10% of the harvest, and will take the place of n°2 next year.

Manual
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.
