In a significant milestone for Salvadoran coffee producers, the first shipment of ecologically cultivated coffee, managed by smallholder farmers under the ACAFESAL association, has been exported. This achievement not only fetches excellent prices but also strengthens El Salvador’s position in the competitive U.S. market.
For ACAFESAL, this marks a pivotal opportunity to champion an agricultural model that prioritizes environmental protection and sustainability. It signifies the beginning of a concerted effort with the government to ensure that Salvadoran coffee remains a favorite in international markets, renowned for its exceptional flavor and quality.
The event hosted by ACAFESAL saw the participation of Vice President-elect Félix Ulloa and Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Livestock, Óscar Domínguez. Their presence underscores the government’s unwavering support for Salvadoran coffee farmers and its commitment to fostering sustainable and profitable agricultural practices.
This landmark shipment not only symbolizes economic progress for smallholder farmers but also represents a collective stride towards a greener, more sustainable future for El Salvador’s agricultural sector.
