Cafeina Womens Group - Brazil

As part of the Cocatrel Cooperative in Tres Pontas, Sul De Minas, is a group that was started this year for the female farmers who are part of the Cooperative. 
The Cafeina Group is made up of 21% of the members of the Cocatrel Cooperative, equating to 1154 women producers. The idea was to encourage the engagement of these female producers in the decision-making process of the Cooperative.  
They are organised to have meetings every two months to improve their education and knowledge, but also to increase their visibility in the coffee growing community and promote their involvement. The group at the Cooperative is led by Iandra Vilela who has won awards for leading women in coffee.
