FECCEG

The Federación Comercializadora de Café Especial de Guatemala (FECCEG) is a non-profit organisation founded in 2006, with the purpose of supporting coffee producers to overcome two major challenges: price fluctuations and the risks of the international coffee market. Today, as a federation, it brings together 15 producers' organisations, associations and cooperatives, which include 1150 men and 350 women, all of them small-scale farmers, engaged in the organic production of speciality coffees, honey, panela and cocoa. The members are distributed in the Altiplano of Guatemala, in the departments of Chimaltenango, Huehuetenango, Quiché, Sololá, San Marcos and Quetzaltenango. This is a land known for its majestic mountains, dotted with volcanoes, and a diversity of microclimates that imprint unique characteristics on high quality coffees.

FECCEG Civil Society works in cooperation with other organisations to create capacity building synergies in the communities where the farmers associated with each FECCEG organisation live and work.
