Finca San Antonio Amatepec's social and environmental policy, the treatment of their workers and the excellent relationship with the local communities, confirms that they are one of the most progressive coffee farms in El Salvador
El Salvador has come a long way as one the most efficient coffee producers in the world. By 1880 gourmet coffee had become the main export crop passing indigo. Since coffee was in such high demand, the Government introduced legislation such as tax breaks for farmers and elimination of export duties for coffee producers. This led to the development of roads and railways leading to the farms, and the integration of indigenous communities into the national economy.
This coffee type boasts a classic cup. It is speciality coffee (SHG), and it's also Rainforest Alliance certified. To be RFA certified means having standards that are intended to protect the environment and the rights of workers. This certification allows the farmers to have a sustainable farm-management system, control costs, gain efficiencies, improve crop quality, and maintain the wildlife habitat. In sum, the certification ensures consumers that the Rainforest Alliance certified coffee that they drink supports sustainable supply and demonstrates the importance of responsible coffee sourcing.
