ASPROGUATE (Asociación Sostenible de Productores de Guatemala) was created in 2014 by 100 organic coffee farmers in Cobán, Acatenango, and Chimaltenango, later joined by producers from nearby areas. Based in San Martín Jilotepeque since 2016, the association trains members in organic cultivation, sustainable agriculture, and land stewardship—covering erosion control, shade management, and live barriers. Its team provides technical support, maintains full traceability, and connects farmers to international markets for fair prices and lasting partnerships. ASPROGUATE also advances gender equality, opposes discrimination and child labor, and empowers women, who represent 55% of members.
