The cooperative has accomplished a growing conscience amongst its members in preserving nature and keeping the Pangoa Valley green and full of life; the perfect place to produce natural, high-quality coffee. These communities use agro forestry systems to produce their cocoa, generating labor and income for their villages without depreciating the forests they inherited from their ancestors. About 103 Pangoa producers participate in the organic cocoa program and 80 percent are already organic certified organic with the rest in transition.
