Coffee has become one of the few major Honduran export success stories by targeting socially and quality conscious consumers. Marcala, in southwest Honduras, has been famous for coffee production since the early 20th century thanks to all the environmental factors it has on it's side - great soil, high altitude, perfect climate and abundant shade. The Honduran Central Coffee Cooperative is a network of many cooperatives representing over 6,000 small to medium scale coffee growers and their families. CCCH assures small producers greater leverage in dealings with coffee purchasers and promotes social programs with particular attention to women. The organization also seeks a Honduran coffee policy that benefits the national producing sector. In Honduras, coffee is the main export product and there are over 2 million people that are directly or indirectly involved with this production industry.
