Founded in 2017, ASOPROSAN is a cooperative of 135 smallholder farmers located in the highlands of San Andrés, Lempira, Honduras. With farms ranging from 1 to 40 hectares and situated at elevations between 1,100 and 1,600 meters above sea level, ASOPROSAN is dedicated to producing high-quality, sustainable coffee through environmentally responsible practices.

The cooperative cultivates a diverse selection of coffee varieties including Parainema, Catuai, IHCAFE 90, and Lempira - using organic farming methods that emphasize soil health, biodiversity, and climate resilience. Shade grown under native tree canopies, the coffee thrives in an ecosystem that supports both ecological balance and exceptional cup quality.

Farmers apply organic fertilizers made from coffee pulp, chicken manure, and nutrient-rich solutions, fertilizing three times a year to enhance soil vitality and yield. The average production ranges from 30 to 35 quintals per hectare. Harvesting employs a combination of permanent and seasonal labor, ensuring careful cherry selection at peak ripeness.

Processing is typically carried out on each farm, using individual depulpers and drying beds. Techniques include 15 to 20 hour fermentation, extended drying periods of 12 to 14 days, and in some cases, 24-hour cherry resting followed by 18-hour fermentation. Additionally, some members utilize honey (melado) processing, which conserves water while enhancing flavor complexity.

ASOPROSAN not only supports its members with technical training and financial resources but also champions climate adaptation strategies like live barriers and increased crop monitoring. Many farmers diversify with avocados, citrus, bananas, and lemongrass, reinforcing food security and income sustainability.
