Red, ripe berries. In dense clusters. Some at face height, others several meters above the ground.
At an altitude of 1,500 meters in the Hauraikik neighborhood of the village of Maubisse, we find ourselves amidst thousands of coffee trees.
They grow wild, densely and on steep slopes.
John is in his mid-20s, but has been a coffee farmer for over 10 years.
However, the income from coffee is not enough to survive, which is why he also works as a carpenter.
But it's coffee that John would rather do.
In Hauraikik and two nearby neighborhoods, Konfiansa started a project in 2024.
Through the production of quality coffee, we will achieve our primary goal: better living conditions for small-scale farmers.
We want to show what fair trade actually is. The goal is to multiply the value that remains in the local community.
