Perhaps it would be important for us escribieramos an article later.
Thanks in advance

It very clearly conveys to me the meaning of “Small Farmers / Big Change.” Thanks for posting this.

One question: When Sixto Bonilla says “they [the big U.S. coffee company] were insistent on having us follow their rules,” I initially was wondering just how much pressure the company was exerting, in what areas, and why they were so adamant. By the end of the article I feel I understood this issue more, but if you have any more details to share about this, it would be very interesting to hear.

Thanks again for an incredible story.
