Aldea Global began in 1992 as a collective of coffee farmers in the Jinotega region of northern Nicaragua. These farmers focused on sustainable agricultural practices to protect the environment and improve their livelihoods. Today, Aldea Global is the third-largest exporter of green coffee and the largest smallholder farmer association in Nicaragua, representing over 15,000 families, one-third of whom are women.
In 2023, Aldea Global shifted its focus to microfinance, offering unsecured loans to small-scale coffee farmers. This helps them improve and expand their farms, even in remote areas without access to financial services.
Aldea Global also provides guidance on sustainable farming methods, such as water conservation and soil improvement, boosting both productivity and environmental protection. Additionally, they assist farmers in obtaining certifications like Fair Trade, enabling them to sell their coffee at higher prices on international markets.
