Foreign capital entry into the coffee chain
- Running an agro-export operation
- Exporting agricultural produce
- Audited
The chain has ~125,000 producing families (Anacafé, verified in dossier 08) and exports intermediated by global houses that already run local subsidiaries: Volcafe = Peter Schoenfeld, S.A. (zone 16, Paseo Cayalá; sourcing, milling, export, quality laboratory, ~5,500 growers in Huehuetenango, Santa Rosa, Antigua and Cubulco — verified); NKG = Sertinsa; ECOM = Exportcafé; and the independents Unex Guatemala and Cafcom (with its own dry mill) — these four not re-verified. The typical entry is to acquire or partner with an exporter-mill, not with farms. The figure of '210 municipalities with coffee' does not appear in the 2022 CABI study (Anacafé publishes 204 and 261, depending on the document).
The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
