This season coffee growers from the Regulado de Canda, in the community of Nhanguco, Gorongosa district will be participating in the coffee weighing process. These same farmers work tirelessly to grow the coffee that supplies Gorongosa National Park, strengthening the local economy and supporting their families.
The weighing process is a crucial stage where the farmers receive receipts that enable them to receive monetary payments at the end of the harvest. This annual partnership not only benefits the producers but also has a significant positive impact on local communities.
The coffee harvest allows many families to secure a stable income, ensuring that their children have access to education and a brighter future. For many, their commitment, hard work and dedication to changing lives is an inspiration for others.
The success of coffee production in Nhanguco is a testament to the power of collaboration and community empowerment. Local officials praised the local farmers for the journey of Nhanguco coffee from the coffee plant to the cup, and the remarkable impact it has on the lives of those who grow it.
