A significant portion (70%) of producers in Honduras are considered smallholders, growing coffee on land less than 2 hectares. The past few decades have seen increased support towards these smallholders, with resources provided by IHCAFE to improve agricultural methods and connect producers with international markets. The producers are passionate about quality and are constantly looking to the future. Not only that, but Honduras, unlike many other Central American countries, boasts an overall young average age of producer. Cooperatives are run by young professionals, and plenty of entrepreneurs are working to modernize the coffee industry in Honduras.
