In Mexico, the world of coffee is buzzing with excitement! With over half a million coffee producers in the country, more than 95 percent of them are small growers working their magic on less than seven acres of land. Across 16 states, the aroma of coffee cultivation fills the air, but the real heart of it lies in the three major states of Chiapas, Oaxaca, and Veracruz, where over 90 percent of the coffee action takes place.
For many Indigenous communities, coffee remains a vital source of income, with more than 50 percent of plantation owners proudly speaking an Indigenous language. Unity is key, and cooperatives play a significant role in the industry, supporting these growers on their journey. The love for coffee has become a cultural legacy, bringing together communities in celebration of this marvelous brew. š¤šš
