De La Gente

de la gente is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit social enterprise based in guatemala that commercializes coffee from partner smallholder cooperatives across guatemalan growing regions. the organization works directly with more than 140 small-scale producers, channeling approximately $350,000 per year back to farming communities through above-market, stable pricing. their supply chain model connects guatemalan producer cooperatives directly with roasters and end buyers, with an emphasis on transparency and ongoing buyer-producer relationships. de la gente offers specialty guatemalan coffee including microlots, and exports green coffee beans to the united states. they also operate a wholesale roasted coffee program for coffee shops, offices, and retail accounts, with a minimum order of 10 lb of roasted coffee. the primary buyer-facing offering relevant to roasters is green coffee from guatemalan partner cooperatives, with roasted wholesale as a secondary channel. cooperative assistance and producer support programs form part of their broader mission alongside coffee commercialization. buyers interested in green coffee sourcing should contact de la gente directly for current lot availability and export terms.
