  • There are thousands of landslides in the north, centre and west of Honduras. Here in San Luis Planes the coffee harvest is affected by damaged roads that prevent coffee pickers from getting to farms and prevent transport of coffee to mills. The coffee harvest is also damaged from coffee cherries falling with heavy rain, root rot and many fungal diseases like leaf rust that prosper in humidity.

  • Noelia Sagastume came walking from Peña Blanca to San Luis Planes, 2.5 hours walk, after the road to San Luis Planes was ruined by the hurricanes Eta and Iota. "We've all been affected by the hurricanes, not just because of the roads, but all local work is affected, people have lost their farms, there's no coffee picking, and people who rely on farm labouring are suffering".

  • Following the hurricanes Eta and Iota a coffee farm is split by one of thousands of landslides in San Luis Planes, Santa Barbara, Honduras.

  • Prudencio Fernández, El Zapote, Santa Bárbara, Honduras. “There are two big landslides, one each side of the road where we are. All the other families have gone from here now, they’ve left. I’m only here to harvest the coffee I can, I’m picking on my own. A lot of the coffee dropped while it was green, there was a lot of rain, amazing amount of rain, so the leaves and coffee dropped. But there’s some left and I’m picking it before I leave. There has been some help here, people have come to give us food, but the government hasn’t even come to take a look.”

  • Landslide in San Luis Planes, Santa Bárbara. The region of Santa Bárbara continues to be badly affected by landslides. Fairtrade-certified cooperative Montaña Verde is based in San Luis Planes and coop members are all affected by climate change, hurricanes and landslides. Serious problems with access to farms, loss of land, loss of topsoil, washed-out nutrients, the early fall of unripe cherries, leaf drop, root rot, and a proliferation of fungal diseases all affect the producers.

  • Lourdes López Vásquez, 16.<br />
<br />
“The family was evacuated at midnight, that was during hurricane Eta. We heard thundering noises coming from underground, from inside the mountain” said Lourdes, “We were all evacuated, it was dark, we all felt sad”. Lourdes’ family is one of 60 families affected by the landslide in the village of El Zapote, San Luis Planes, Santa Bárbara. That night six houses were destroyed by a landslide there and another 55 were made unsafe by subsidence, and have now been declared uninhabitable. The region of Santa Bárbara, with steep mountain slopes that are ideal for coffee growing, is particularly prone to landslides.

Serious problems with access to farms, loss of land, loss of topsoil, washed-out nutrients, the early fall of unripe cherries, leaf drop, root rot, and a proliferation of fungal diseases all affect the producers, as well as the loss of their corn and bean crops that they rely on as their staple food.

  • Across the Santa Barbara region the water supply has been badly damaged, it is expected that it will take several months to restore the supply even to the city of Santa Barbara.

  • Mario Roberto Fernández, coffee farmer with Montaña Verde coffee cooperative, San Luis Planes, Santa Barbara, Honduras. “The damages we’ve had here from the two hurricanes, on top of the pandemic, we’ve seen damages to housing, roads and farms. There’s a combination of problems together. We are very worried, because we can’t see how we’ll get through the year and deliver coffee to our clients, even to get the coffee out of the area. We’ve had losses, we’ve done some analysis in the coop, we’ve completely lost 40 manzanas, the loss of houses. The damage to coffee includes a lot of coffee that dropped while it was green, leaf loss that stops the growth of the coffee beans, and that lowers production and quality, and then we are already suffering from fungal diseases on the farms: anthracnose, coffee tree leaf rust, American coffee leaf spot. Climate change is affecting us in different ways, the rains come when we don’t expect them, then don’t come when we expect them. On my farm there was a lot of leaf loss and green coffee that dropped. In many cases it won’t be worthwhile picking the coffee if the growth is affected and there is damage to the coffee beans. Across the whole coop there will be a big loss, and the economy here will be badly affected.

  • Dilma Chávez is a small-scale coffee farmer in San Luis Planes, Santa Bárbara, Honduras. She is a member of the Montaña Verde cooperative. “On my farm and my husbands farm we have a lot of fissures on the farm, and some landslides. The roads are badly damaged, some of them you can’t pass. We are having to fix the small roads into the farms ourselves, there’s no help from the government. The coffee is suffering a lot from fungal infections, ojo de gallo, leaf rust, and it’s very hard to control with so much moisture, it will probably spread and gets worse. This year we’ll have a big drop in production, everyone in the coop will suffer, it’s big. And that affects us all economically. And some houses have been affected, in the two villages called El Zapote. We grow most of our own food here, and all those crops have also be affected, the corn, the beans, with so much rain we’ve lost a lot of that too.”

  • Cosme Castellón and Guadalupe Pineda on top of a coffee-farm landslide in Zapotal, San Luis Planes, Santa Barbara. Hundreds of landslides in the area have ripped through coffee farms, all farms have lost production because of fallen coffee with the very heavy rains and the extreme level of moisture has boosted fungal infections in coffee. Both Cosme and Guadalupe are members of the Montaña Verde coop that is Fairtrade certified.

  • Arnaldo Hernández, COCASJOL, El Ocotillal, Colinas, Santa Barbara, Honduras. “Quite a few farms have been affected by the hurricanes. There’s not even a way in to the farms, the roads are ruined. And fungal diseases, ojo de gallo, leaf rust, we’ve got them. There’s been no support from the government, but the coop has given some people some fertilizer because the soil is washed out, to help restore the coffee trees.”

  • Hector Hermilo Perdomo, COCASJOL, Colinas, Santa Bárbara, Honduras. “With the two hurricanes that hit Honduras, the water that fell with them has affected us very much. We’ve had landslides, lots of land has been wiped out, taking with it our crops. Just in my bit of land I’ve lost two manzanas (5 acres) that means 7000 coffee plants that I’ve lost, that I can’t recover. Also the production of those 7000 plants, that’s about 35 quintals of dry pergamino coffee that I’ve lost. All this means I’m in difficulties financially, it’s a big loss. Also I’ve lost the musacea, the bananas we plant alongside the coffee as shade, and we have a substantial trade of bananas to Guatemala, mainly the small banana we call ‘mínimo’, we’ve lost that too. We’ve got big difficulties with access to and from our farms here, after the main roads and minor roads were affected by landslides, and that has made it hard to get any product out to market, or get machinery in to fix things on our farms. I’ve had 14 small landslides, and two big ones on my own property.”

  • Elieser Valle, el Pacayito, Colinas. Elisier is a member of the COCASJOL coffee cooperative. “With Eta our land began to subside, to sink, but when Iota came and the rain, the land began to slip away, down the mountain. Most of the coffee farm is affected, and it’s affecting the house, it’s what worries us most at the moment, the house is on the edge of the landslide now. We don’t sleep well, when the hurricanes were in full swing we had to stay in another house for a while, we were too scared to sleep here. Thank God we are okay, but if this carries on we’ll have to abandon the house. We aren’t the only ones, there are other families in the same situation. We are in danger of losing everything, the coffee farm and the house.“
