Rural- Addressing Poverty (#)
„.....Bank sponsored introduction of corn grinder raises productivity in rural Guatemala. Adding such recent adversities to the long history of discrimination against the countryside, outbreaks of protest and violence are understandable. The threat or the reality of rural social instability, and the plight of the rural poor, have been used by vested interests (protected processing industries and large commercial processors) to make a case against necessary liberalizing reforms.“

„The most famous regional market names are Antigua, from the countryside west of the old capital of Guatemala; Coban, from Alta Verapaz, a district a hundred or so miles northeast of Antigua; and the less celebrated Huehuetenango, from a district about a hundred miles northwest of the old capital. The Antigua coffees are most famous, but some specialty roasters feel that they have become inconsistent owing to the complacency of many of their producers, and prefer the similar but lesser-known coffees of Huehuetenango. Some shops may advertise their Guatemalan coffees by grade; the highest grades are strictly hard bean, indicating coffees grown at altitudes of 4,500 feet or higher, and hard bean, indicating those grown between 4,000 and 4,500 feet. Well-known Guatemalan estates include San Miguel, Capitillo, San Sebastian, and Los Volcanos.“

„At age 14, while working in my dad's retail store, I was already making a serious effort to convert 80-year-old ladies to freshly roasted Guatemala Maragogype. ("Ma'am, I can recommend a freshly roasted, very mild and mellow after-dinner, low-caffeine coffee that will make you sleep like a nightingale.")“
