REVIVING COFFEE IN PUERTO RICO
Coffee has been a part of Puerto Rico’s rich culture and heritage for generations, but in 2017, hurricanes Maria and Irma destroyed more than 80 percent of the island’s coffee harvest and trees. Working alongside the Hispanic Federation, TechnoServe, and others, Nespresso is helping coffee farmers, like Zuleyka Lugo, and their communities, replant their land, reclaim their futures and restore Puerto Rico’s incredible coffee industry.
Our efforts in Puerto Rico are part of the Nespresso REVIVING ORIGINS program, which helps revitalize coffee production in farming regions that are under threat due to political conflict, economic hardship or environmental disasters.
WHAT NESPRESSO IS DOING
Nespresso’s $1 million commitment in Puerto Rico enables TechnoServe to train and mentor farmers in critical agronomic and business skills. These efforts will help 1,500 farmers improve their crop yields and increase their incomes.
Learning together improves the way we produce coffee, but more importantly, it builds community.

HOW CAN YOU JOIN OUR EFFORTS?
Every dollar donated to the Hispanic Federation helps to plant one new coffee tree on the island, with the power to revive the land and help farmers and communities prosper.
