Olga Alvarado, a coffee producer in Intibucá, migrated to the US and worked at Macdonalds in Devon, New Jersey for eight years, scrimping and saving to buy a small plot of farm land and grow coffee. She is a member of the COAQUIL cooperative that is Fairtrade-certified, and the Fairtrade prices are keeping their heads above water as the international coffee market prices are very low. Many of the farmers in her area are selling coffee at a loss of around $50 a sack, the Fairtrade price is giving Olga a profit of around $30 a sack.
