Benito Sanchez - Transparency

Farmer: Benito Sanchez
Importer: Semilla Coffee

Price paid by us to Semilla for the landed coffee at our roastery: 17.37CAD/kg

FOB price: 11.10CAD/kg

Farmgate price: 8000 Lempira / quintal of green coffee (～9.70CAD/kg)
The national farmgate price for 2024 was 3500 Lempira; Semilla paid more than double the market price for this coffee.
When you support small roasters like us who support small importers like Semilla, you help us all challenge the coffee status quo keeping the farmers in poverty.
Yes, we still need to find ways to compensate farmers even more for their work, and the more coffee we sell, the more we can implement a vision that centers farmers :-)
