Molinos de Honduras, Volcafe’s entity in the country, recently welcomed a delegation from Enveritas to its Experimental Center, Finca Las Moras. The 234-hectare property, with 10 hectares dedicated to #coffee production, serves as a testing ground for new inputs before they are recommended to coffee farmers. Additionally, Finca Las Moras is a key training site where technicians provide Volcafe Way training to #coffeefarmers. The visit was particularly meaningful as Molinos de Honduras and Enveritas have collaborated for several years, verifying coffee farms for roaster clients. For the Enveritas team, this visit offered an invaluable opportunity to observe the impact of Molinos de Honduras' work firsthand and deepen their understanding of #sustainable coffee production methods in #honduras.
