It is said that every four years, federated coffee growers elect union leaders who will represent them annually before the coffee growers’ federation, an instance in which the objectives of the sector are set and recommendations are issued to address the most relevant aspects faced by coffee growers.
As a social principle, it can be communicated that the Coffee Federation has as its main axis the well-being of the coffee grower and his family, programs and projects focused on the empowerment and leadership of women coffee growers, closing the generation gap with young coffee growers, and improving housing with the support of government entities.
