From Jinotega to London : the Fair Trade coffee story
Fairtrade coffee grower Junieth Leiva from the Agricultural Co-operative SOPPEXCCA is in London and Bristol for Fairtrade Fortnight.
SOPPEXCCA is made up of 650 coffee and cocoa small scale farmers organised into 15 co-operatives.
Junieth and her family own 3.5 hectares of land where they grow organic coffee and cocoa and vegetables for their own consumption and to sell locally.
During this time Junieth will be highlighting the benefits and challenges of Fairtrade, and talking about ways in which SOPPEXCCA farmers are confronting climate change.
She will be visiting schools and colleges, speaking at events, and meeting companies who sell SOPPEXCCA coffee…and members of the public who drink it.
Junieth’s visit is organised by Bristol Link with Nicaragua and supported by the Nicaragua Solidarity Campaign.
SOPPEXCCA coffee is sold in the UK under the brand Perkee. SOPPEXCCA coffee is also part of the Equal Exchange 'Women Farmers Grew this organic coffee' brand
