Luis Alberto Vásquez Cooperative
Teofilo César Tórrez, President of the Administration
Board tells us: “This is a cooperative that holds 65 partners, 35 are
women and 30 are men. The cooperative is always alert of the partners´
needs. They have bought transportation and an administrative office has
been settled over Don Mario Torrez’s house.
Don Mario explains: “We take advantage of the prices
quoted to the coffee of our partners. This has helped us to buy organic
manure, inputs and tools that we use collectively. For entertainment we
have contracted Direct TV allowing the kids to watch TV and even a Play
station…”
“Proodecop, a local organization, has helped us to
have access to fair trade and the fact that we have won an award in the
“cup of excellence”… we feel that we have been saved by the bell, since
now we may get better prices for our coffee”
This will raise the profile of product that are
produce in cooperatives as well as the recognition of our coffee.
