We’re pleased to be partnering with JDE Peet's and the USDA on this important initiative that will make a difference in the lives and livelihoods of thousands in Central America while also repairing the planet. #regenerativeagriculture #solutionstopoverty #differentwaytomakeadifference
JDE Peet’s is proud to introduce Avanza Café, a new initiative partnering with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and TechnoServe aimed to transform coffee farming across Central America. By training over 35,000 farmers in Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua, we’re working to boost coffee yields by 25%, cut carbon emissions, and raise household incomes by an average of 25%. The project will involve an investment of $15.3 million. With a focus on regenerative agriculture, Avanza Café helps farmers adopt sustainable practices that not only improve productivity but also enhance resilience to climate challenges. This initiative is a powerful example of how we bring our purpose to life - unleashing the possibilities of coffee and tea to create a better future - and of our Common Grounds programme, which positively impacts communities, the environment, and the coffee industry.

In many low-income countries, small shops sell 80-90% of all consumer goods, often to customers that larger retailers miss. If these local businesses reach their full potential, they can be a game changer for local economies. So we’re thrilled to be expanding our approach with micro-retailers to El Salvador. #solutionstopoverty #adifferentwaytomakeadifference
In #internationaldevelopment, we talk a lot about scaling what works. So it's always great to see it happen in practice. Yesterday, we launched a project that will take a proven model for boosting #smallbusiness performance to a new continent. Over the last several years, we've worked with thousands of small shops across #SubSaharanAfrica on a model that improves their revenue and #jobcreation, critical for local #economicgrowth. Now, we're scaling that approach with the new Micro-retail Development Project in #ElSalvador. With dedicated partners #USAID and #CBC, we will work with 44,000 (!) of the country's small shops--with 50% women participants--to: - Improve their business models to promote #sustainability and growth - Provide digital business training - Enhance their access to tailored credit products From the great launch event yesterday in San Salvador: 1 (L-R): H.E.

A heartfelt thank you to the teachers and students for their warm welcome and enthusiastic participation! It was a privilege to witness their excitement, and we are grateful to contribute to nurturing young minds—one healthy bite at a time! Let’s continue promoting healthy lifestyles and spreading the joy of learning across communities!
