El Cafetalero
Coffee is Costa Rica´s key crop and contributes significantly to the country´s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). However, the sector currently faces several threats: the prices of a volatile coffee market, loss of production space, and particularly the inexpected change in climate, which has a significant impact on the national coffee production. The NAMA Café de Costa Rica aims to work on the effects that coffee farms and mills have on Climate Change and offer a quality plus to a high-quality coffee at the time of sale.
