On June 3rd, an unexpected eruption of the Fuego volcano in Guatemala killed more than a hundred people and caused many more to evacuate. Guatemala is home to tens of thousands of smallholder coffee farms, many of which have been directly affected.
A few weeks ago, Kim Elena Ionescu, SCA’s Chief Research Officer, spoke to Alejandro Molina, Sustainability and Market Access Coordinator at ANACAFE, Guatemala’s national coffee association. They spoke on the phone about the eruptions and of what will be required to rebuild the lives and businesses of the farmers affected.

Kim Elena Ionescu moderates a panel with Merling Preza, Alejandro Cadena, Lee Wallace, and Molly Laverty at Re:co Symposium in Seattle in April 2018.
In this week's episode of the podcast, Peter Giuliano speaks with Kim Elena about the introductory sustainability panel, which covered a wide range of topics including the reduction in the profitability of coffee farms, the changes in prices coffee buyers offer to coffee farmers, and the need for industry investment in research.
Over the next three weeks, we’ll be releasing episodes from the sustainability session at Re:co Symposium this year, and Kim Elena will be taking over the Re:co Podcast for those sessions, interviewing some of the speakers and diving deeper into some of the topics covered.
