Theobroma Cacao Communities Cocoa Production in Maya Q`eqchi `"

Q'eqchi' cacao farmers in Petn lack technical training and infrastructure to produce, process, and sell cacao.

Fundacin ProPetn (PROPETEN) provides technical assistance to farmers of Poptn and San Luis to develop skills in operations management and in growing and selling cacao. At the IAF, we support community-led solutions to expand economic opportunity in Guatemala.

PROPETEN's activities promote smallholder agriculture and food production to enhance food security and ensure meaningful opportunities for communities to thrive. This grant is part of the IAF's efforts to address the root causes of irregular migration in Central America.
