In 2020, we followed through on our commitment to support a Cluster of Coffee Farms in the Lempiras region of Honduras. We coordinated with the LIFT program to provide Technical Agronomy Training focused on improving soil health, water management and yields per hectare.

UN Sustainable Development Goals

As an ongoing part of our Sustainable Cup Program, which we initiated in 2018, we will continue to provide 440,000 disease and drought-resistant seedlings annually to farmers in Nicaragua and Honduras with the expectation of improving productivity by over 60% through 2023.

Reily Foods supported the provision of 440,000 hybrid coffee seedlings at a subsidized price to coffee farmers in Central America. The seedlings are drought and disease resistant and are expected to improve yields by up to 60% once fully mature. Every tree counts for coffee farmers and these seedlings allow them to renovate their farms at a reduced cost.
