Nicaraguan Ambassador, Dr. Ricardo Alvarado is interviewed on Ireland's RTE national radio prior to announcing a 65% increase in Fairtrade certified coffee purchases by Bewleys from the Soppexcca Farmers Co-operative of Jinotega in Nicaragua. The development ensures a further $1 million contract for Soppexcca in addition to an existing $1.5 million three year deal announced by Bewleys in 2008. It forms part of Bewleys long standing policy of direct partnership with coffee growers. Soppexcca particularly supports the involvement of women in society and the economy.
