Domingo Ichich (in blue) and Mario Chub (in red). "The weather here changes quickly" says Mario, "we need a dryer, we've wanted one for ages, a guardiola dryer that doesn't use much firewood. We haven't got enough for the door and scales yet but we've saved our fairtrade premium for 6 years. Now we're building the dryer building and the dryer is being built in Cobán. We began organising to sell our coffee together, with APODIP, six years ago. There are 22 people in our group and now were building this another nine are joining. We bought this land as a group. Even people who aren't in the group have come here to help us build this shed for the dryer." APODIP is a certified fairtrade producer and is made up of mainly indigenous Pokomchi and Qeqchi Mayan members in the Alta Verapaz area of Guatemala.
