Petrona Perez
Petrona Perez is a coffee producer based in the Huehuetenango region of Guatemala, specifically in the town of Aldea Qom. She operates Finca Satchibal, a 5.5-hectare farm, and is recognized as an exemplary figure among women in the specialty coffee industry.
History
Perez has been a long-standing partner of roasters like Verve Coffee and Gento Coffee Roasters. Her farm, Finca Satchibal, previously faced financial hardship due to market prices falling below production costs before establishing direct trade partnerships. Her current focus is on renewing and expanding her coffee plantations to increase production volume and improve economic stability for her family and community.
