Honduras - Jose Salvador

In 2017 José Federico Salvador planted his first plot of land. Using his savings from working as a driver, he invested in a hectare of coffee plants. He began purchasing cherry as well, and the combined production allowed him to expand his plantation to four hectares. José Federico Salvador has been working with Becamo since 2018, and in 2022 he teamed up with the technicians from the Unit for Sustainable Services to Producers (USSP) to experiment with different processing methods. Learning about specialty processing methods revealed wide potential for José’s coffee that he says, “not only enhances its quality but also allows me to qualify for better prices, which has significantly benefited my family by providing an additional income stream.”
