Community projects
In every coffee farm owned by Chantuc, there exists a school, a clinic and a sports facility for the use of all workers and their children.
Our Actions
The coffee culture embedded within the workers of the farms has been a key factor of the business ethics for Chantuc.
Here are some of the actions we take towards sustainability.

Direct relationship with coffee buyers, with constant and transparent communication. This paves for quality improvements and further innovations; consistent process and stable revenues.
SHADE-GROWN COFFEE
Is an efficient and sustainable way to manage coffee, where less fertilizers are required, more organic material is utilized; Inga type pepeto trees, known for their large leaves, provides a canopy for our ecosystem.
