FEDECOVERA purchases cacao from small farmers at highly competitive market prices, ensuring a stable income source for growers. This cooperative is a great example of how an organization can improve the living conditions of not only its members but also the entire community. In the Verapaces region, the cooperative invests in local clinics, schools, access to low-interest loans, infrastructure improvements, and various training and trade services.
