COMSA - Café Orgánico Marcala

Café Orgánico Marcala S.A. (COMSA) was founded and constituted as part of the Sociedad Anónima de Capital Variable (Anonymous Society of Varying Capitol) on December 13, 2001 with support from the Rural Business Development Foundation (FUNDER). COMSA was born with the vision of doing something different. It began with a group of 69 small Honduran producers interested in commercializing about 1,537 quintals of the utmost quality coffee to markets, primarily international, with the best trade terms. Today, COMSA commercializes about 58,561 quintals of coffee “oro verde,” all organic, with unique qualities such as slight acidity, a citrus floral fragrance, peach and black berry flavors, medium body amongst others. With the support of Fair Trade premiums, COMSA continues to incorporate new, more environmentally safe agricultural practices and spread new techniques and knowledge to more producers every year.
