My dad gave me 6 manzanas and I bought one, it is called the fortune because you get enough coffee with those plots.
• How did your history with coffee start?:
My story begins through my dad, since he liked this crop and I was always working together with him and I also liked it. They took me to cut, not to veneer, because I was very small, although I did not work as a child I was always going to accompany my dad and my mom.
It is a crop that has always been in our lands, and we live on it, we are maintained by it. As a young producer I love my job, I’m working in my own thing and I can provide for my family. I have a wife named Walkiria Jarileth and two daughters, Crisbel jarileth and Nesveli Lanuza.
