„After a full day of seminars about the history of El Salvador, its people, and the land, our delegation began learning about the coffee business. Coffee was first grown here as a cash crop in 1841, and quickly became a dominant export. As time passed, those who rule the land--members of seven families whose roots trace back to the Spanish conquistadors who conquered El Salvador and its indigenous peoples--began exercising greater control over the coffee farming business.“

„Participants saw first hand the roots of the LWR Coffee Project, a program that educates Lutherans about the social justice issues around the coffee industry and encourages people to purchase coffee that has been fairly traded. Participants took part in discussions with local economists, historians, Lutheran church leaders, and LWR staff and partners. They also participated in the harvest and stay in the homes of coffee farmers for an up-close experience.“

„The global coffee crisis that began with the demise of the International Coffee Agreement regulating the supply of coffee, hit Salvadoran coffee farmers hard. Coffee prices fell, often below the costs of production. Many cooperatives could no longer make payments on their debts and in many cases, the banks foreclosed.“
