This initiative aims to uplift poor farmers in Guatemala’s Western Highlands by enhancing their agricultural productivity and income. Farmers, with land sizes ranging from 0.5 to 2 hectares and annual incomes between $350 and $1,150, primarily grow corn and beans for subsistence, while coffee, vegetables, and fruits are cultivated for income. Strategies include improved farming practices such as pruning, composting, and enhanced processing techniques. Support is needed to assist 3,900 coffee-farming families, with a target of helping 1,450 families in 2007.
