Luis Roldan Yellow Caturra - Transparency
Farmer: Luis Roldan
Exporter: Industrias Noviembre
Importer: Semilla
Price we paid Semilla for the landed coffee in our Montreal warehouse: 14.60CAD/kg.

Farmgate price: 1750 Quetzal/quintal - 1 quintal being around 100kg of parchment
National price: 1200 Quetzal
Even when local and global market prices are fluctuating, Semilla is committed to paying more for coffee and to not use this colonial way of pricing coffee. They also don't buy based on cup scores: Semilla and the farmers they work with price coffee together so it makes sense for everyone by including cost of production, local needs and inflation, etc.
