The La Morena program was created to give female coffee growers access to the global supply chain and to address gender inequality in coffee farming. The program started off small; worked with four IWCA members to import 32 boxes of green coffee beans. The growers enjoyed success from that introduction to the market and their coffees and their coffees became highly sought after.
