Members of the Governing Board
CECOVASA, one of Equal Exchange’s small farmer coffee co-operative partners, just celebrated an important milestone: the completion of a processing plant owned and controlled by the members themselves.
The plant measures 25 by 50 meters and will begin operation this June, in time for the next harvest.

Small Farmers. Big Change. 
Member-owenership of processing? That’s huge. They must be very proud. Small organic farmers here in the states need to follow this great example so they’re no so beholden to the Muir Glens and Cascadian Farms. Felicadades, CECOVASA!
