  • Jairo Restrepo says he’s 110 years old, he laughs loudly, in fact, he has to calculate it, he’s 58. Recently, a mule fell on top of him. He was loading the mule with sacks of coffee from his farm, when the mule slipped on the steep incline of the mountain and got stuck on top of him with its legs in the air. “It could have killed me, but it gave me a hernia. It’s serious, Ave Maria! the pain is terrible.” He’s waiting for an operation to fix it. With the Fairtrade Premium the Andes Coop now makes regular contributions to the BEPS pension system for him, and additionally, when he sells coffee, the coop makes further contributions of 3% of the sales. “It’s better like this, when I sell the coffee, to make my contribution then, because I can’t make monthly contributions, my income is not monthly, it’s just when I get a harvest”. Aging coffee farmers, until now, have had poor health care, and no pension to look forward to. This is hard on the farmers, hard on their families, and it makes farming unattractive for young farmers. Coop administrators talk in worried terms about problems of 'generational takeover’ as young people abandon farming in large numbers. The BEPS system gives farmers better access to health care, such as hernia operations, and will provide a bi-monthly income to retired farmers. Don Jairo reflects: “man, coffee farming is tough. Sometimes I’m completely skint, sometimes we have long spells when we don’t eat three times a day, we don’t eat properly. Sometimes my clothes are torn, and my clothes stay torn, I can’t even afford a second-hand shirt. And, I tell you, I’ve worked like a bull all my life, I’ve had no Sundays, no bank holidays, no holidays. I have to go up the mountain, every day, that’s what I’ve had to do, that’s what I’ve got to do now, hacking a living out of the mountain. And what have I got now?” he laughs “a hernia!”. “What can I tell you, a pension makes a big difference for us, i

  • Marco Rosalio Duarte laughs "Get that horse out of my picture!" <br />
<br />
Marco Rosalio is one of the leaders of the Federation of Pech Tribes in Honduras, I interview him in Pueblo Nuevo Subirana, an hour from Dulce Nombre de Culmí, Olancho, Honduras.<br />
<br />
The village has 850 inhabitants, almost all of them are indigenous Pech. There are only 6,000 Pech people. <br />
<br />
"About a quarter of the people in the village speak Pech as their mother tongue, everyone speaks a bit. Pech is taught now in the schools, but most people communicate with Spanish, particularly the young people."<br />
<br />
"The village is surrounded by forest, mainly broadleaf but some pine. The area is now a protected area, the National Congress recently approved it."<br />
<br />
"There are flaws in the reservation agreement. There are 16 white ladino families inside this new anthropological reservation, they have a bit of money too, and it's harder to move rich people than poor people in this country. It will be very hard to move them."<br />
<br />
"For protecting our area, we are threatened. Some families have entered our territory recently and have cut down forest and burned the trees to make pastures for cattle. Their intention is to make money. Our intention is to protect the environment, the forest, the water. We've made declarations to the police, and those people will go to court. This isn't the normal way of doing things here, a lot of violence is used, that's the mentality here. Berta Cáceres is just one of hundreds of people who've been killed for protecting the environment and indigenous rights. At the moment we have death threats against us for trying to protect the environment and our territory. We insist on the use of law to resolve these problems."
