In 2000, 62 Honduran coffee farmers joined together with a common goal to transform their farms from conventional to organic. They formed COMSA (Cafe Organico Marcala, S.A). In 2001, COMSA earned their organic certification, enabling them to market their coffee to more international buyers and bring in a higher price. In 2006, COMSA was granted Fair Trade certification status. COMSA uses the Fair Trade price premium to fund many social projects including paying teachers’ salaries and purchasing school supplies. The premium also finances the construction of kitchens in the schools in support of the Merienda Escolar program that provides meals for school children.
