Women Flor Blanca

Precooperativa Flor Blanca is an organization that is made of 12 subgroups throughout Huila with the mission to support small-holder coffee and cacao producers by leveraging their collective size to gain access to international markets. Flor Blanca and it’s subgroups work through the National Federation of Coffee Growers (FNC) and their Mujeres del Huila program to identify and organize groups of women producers and award a premium to those groups for coffees that may otherwise end up in larger blends. Flor Blanca represents over 1,500 women from over 30 coffee-producing municipalities throughout the department. Founded in 2018, Flor Blanca also uses its collective bargaining power to purchase fertilizers at affordable prices on behalf of its members and has a separate organic composting facility to provide free or at-costs fertilizers for women-producers actively participating in the Mujeres del Huila program.
