What do organic speciality coffee and social impact investing have to do with empowering some of the poorest women in the world? In rural Minas Girais, Brazil, women used to support their husbands on small family farms but had little involvement or say in the business or farming decisions. This changed forever in the mid 2000’s, when Oikocredit investee partner, Coopfam (Cooperativa dos Agricultores Familiares de Poço Fundo e Região) - a smallholder coffee cooperative - started to focus on empowering women to play an equal role in producing the coffee that had been a part of their lives for decades.

The Farm
Excelso coffee represents the top ten percent of the cooperative’s production. Rare and sought-after coffee.
The cooperative provides a subsidy for younger generations that gives them more money per pound of coffee produced to encourage them to stay in the family business which helps long-term sustainability in coffee farming. In so many growing communities, the younger generation looks to leave the industry, as currently, coffee farming creates an extremely precarious financial position for the small-scale farmers.
