It is worth mentioning that Starbucks has nine grower support centers around the world, and in 2016 it built its ninth (FSC) Chiapas, Mexico (Chiapas of Mexican Coffee).

Martiniano Moreno spent more than 30 years growing coffee on a farm near La Frailesca in Chiapas, Mexico. Moreno's decades-long planting experience did not help him fight coffee rust.

"Rust has damaged our production and reduced it by 40-60%," said Moreno, who supports a family of eight. "it's ugly." Our whole community depends on Mexican coffee. This is the way we take care of our families and raise our children.

However, Moreno's recent visit to a nursery near the village of Jaltenango gave him new hope. Moreno was invited to plant 3000 new rust-resistant coffee trees. The saplings are donated by Starbucks Mexico to coffee farmers in Chiapas through a project called TODOS SEMBRAMOS CAFE (we all grow coffee).

When Starbucks distributed the plants, Moreno was one of the first 60 coffee farmers to accept donations. And Starbucks provided a total of 18000 rust-resistant coffee saplings at that time.

For Starbucks, this marks an important milestone in its long journey to grow coffee in Chiapas, Mexico.

Starbucks Mexico donated three coffee trees to farmers in Chiapas. These varieties are known for producing better yields, higher ​​ cup quality and enhanced antirust capabilities-Costa rica 95, Guakamaya and Marseilles.
