The Bella Vista municipality is located deep in the Chiapas region of Mexico, and is the birthplace of Rosalba Cifuentes, the founder of Mayan Harvest. Rosalba founded her organization (which has now grown to 70 producers, 50 of whom are women) to work with coffee producers in the area on improving harvesting and processing their coffee to get more competitive prices. Many of these producers have very little land, so these increased premiums make a significant difference in the producers’ livelihoods. Mayan Harvest also provides medical and dental assistance to its members as well.
