Description

Guatemala is the most populous state in Central America, in the south of the Yucatán Peninsula. Guatemala borders Honduras to the southeast, El Salvador to the south, Mexico to the north and Belize to the east. The country has two coasts, a narrow entrance to the Gulf of Honduras, part of the Caribbean Sea, in the east and the Pacific coast in the southwest.

Cooperative DeLaSelva
Georgia Ramon is a member of the De La Selva cooperative. This originated from the project work of the renowned tropical forest management foundation OroVerde. ‘DeLaSelva’ is Spanish and means ‘from the rainforest’.

Sierra de las Minas
The purchase of Jolomijix cocoa beans means income for the indigenous Quecha communities on the edge of the Sierra de las Minas National Park. This mountain region was recognised as a UNESCO biosphere reserve as early as 1992. The reason for this is the special biodiversity of the cloud forests, which reach heights of over 3000 metres – more than 885 species of birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians live here. They are also home to the quetzal, the legendary bird of the Mayan gods and Guatemala’s heraldic animal.

The cocoa grows in a very special cultivation method: in biodiverse forest gardens. The cocoa trees grow mixed with fruit and shade trees. This provides the families with a rich harvest for decades, an additional income and at the same time the rainforest is preserved. Through their own processing and marketing, the smallholders become economically more independent and further develop their self-reliance.
The special cocoa from Guatemala already played a central role in the advanced civilisation of the Mayas more than 2000 years ago. Their descendants in the Sierra de las Minas cultivate this culture – and this cocoa to this day.

More than 400 small farmers from the Quecha people (descendants of the Maya) participate in cocoa cultivation. Cocoa already played a central role in the high culture of the Mayas and their descendants still cultivate this value today.
