Nicaragua Sacaclí - Regenerative Organic Certified™

Cooperativa de Servicios Múltiples Sacaclí is a non-profit organization that was established in 1994 by producers of the Sacaclí community in the Jinotega region of Nicaragua. The group focuses on self-sustainable development, the continuous improvement of the quality of life for its members, and gender equity. Currently, Cooperativa Sacaclí has 537 members, of which 93 are women.

Climate change is disproportionately affecting the tropical and subtropical regions where coffee is grown:
- 50% of global land area suitable for coffee production may be lost by 2050 due to climate change
- 60% of coffee species are considered at high risk of extinction
- 25M smallholder coffee growers are at risk of losing their primary source of income due to declining coffee yields

Regenerative agriculture--a practice of holistic farming where everything is seen as interconnected and vital--can build resilience to mitigate the effects of climate change and protect the future of coffee and our planet. ROC™ was established in 2017 to promote holistic agriculture practices in an all-encompassing certification that champions three pillars:

1. Soil Health & Land Management
2. Animal Welfare
3. Farmer & Worker Fairness

In spring 2022, Cooperativa Sacaclí in Nicaragua became the first coffee producer in the world to harvest a Regenerative Organic Certified crop. We are excited to bring you this coffee from the forefront of the regenerative revolution!

In addition to being Regenerative Organic Certified™ (ROC™), Cooperativa Sacaclí is also Fair Trade certified.
