Katia Duke
Katia Duke is a prominent coffee producer based in Copán, Honduras, who manages the San Isidro farm. She is recognized for her agronomy background and her leadership in the local community, including initiatives like building a school and supporting nutritional programs.
Farm: San Isidro →History
After studying agronomy at the Zamorano Pan-American Agricultural School, Duke returned to work full-time on her family's farm. She faced significant challenges in a male-dominated industry, including initial resistance from workers, but eventually established a successful team and reputation. Her shift toward specialty coffee production was partly spurred by the 2012 leaf rust epidemic, which forced a reassessment of traditional farming methods.
