As awareness
for organic products increases, producers are changing
their farming methods. Conventional production can be
costly and can expose farmers to harsh agrochemicals
if the necessary precautions aren’t taken. Thus,
CIGRAH is proud to be working with Honduran coffee cooperatives
that are certified organic with OCIA, Naturland and
BioLatina.
In Honduras, farming using organic methods
typically involves using “gallinaza” (bird
manure), "bocashy" (a mixture of coffee
pulp), manure, molasses, yeasts and other dry matter
as fertilizers. These nature-friendly ingredients
have had good results in terms of yields.
Honduran organic farming typically
goes hand in hand with the preservation of shade canopies.
Farmers here say that organic farming is doing it
“como Dios manda” (as God intended it),
in complete harmony with nature.
