Where Our Coffee
Comes From
The coffee that is sold in Progreso may change from
time to time (it's a natural product, and changes throughout
the year and from year to year).
La Central
Central de Cooperativas Cafetaleras de Honduras was
founded in November 1997. It is a national network
of coffee producing co-operatives throughout 10 departments
of Honduras. La Central supports rural development
by giving access to direct coffee marketing and resources
to improve coffee communities.

Oromia
Oromia Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union was established
in June 1999 in Ethiopia, the land of origin for Arabica
coffee. The Union has 35 cooperatives and about 23,000
members, supporting about 100,000 families.

PPKGO
PPKGO is the Gayo Organic Coffee Farmers Association
based in Aceh, Northern Sumatra.
At the moment PPKGO is
not a member of Progreso. This is being worked on,
but the Boxing Day tsunami has led to some delays.
