Hidden in the mountains of the Mahwit region, this lot is the result of hard work and dedication by a group of \u003cstrong\u003e80+ women producers\u003c\/strong\u003e.

These women handle about \u003cstrong\u003esixty percent of the coffee cultivation\u003c\/strong\u003e, a true testament to their vital role in an industry that sustains the community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistorically, like in many farming communities across the world, these women were confined to secondary roles and their contributions remained largely unrecognized. In recent years, \u003cstrong\u003eQima has taken significant steps to support women farmers\u003c\/strong\u003e of the region by introducing focused training programs. They also supported the training of ten female farmers to form a dedicated women’s coffee cooperative. This cooperative represents \u003cstrong\u003ea turning point\u003c\/strong\u003e, ensuring that the \u003cstrong\u003evital contributions of women\u003c\/strong\u003e are \u003cstrong\u003eformally recognized and celebrated\u003c\/strong\u003e. The cooperative serves as a platform for collaboration, exchange of knowledge and stands as a symbol of the collective resolve of Mahwit’s women.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mahwit region is quite cut off and it's hard to find Mahwiti coffee. With the right processing, Qima found the coffee can be excellent and they have been working with smallholders from Wadi Mahyad to access the market with more of their coffees, helping them fetch higher prices (see our transparency report).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLess than three years ago\u003c\/strong\u003e, Qima distributed seedlings in the region and have been interviewing farmers to see how these seedlings were performing. \u003cstrong\u003eVolumes per tree\u003c\/strong\u003e are \u003cstrong\u003eup by 50%\u003c\/strong\u003e this year across the community, \u003cstrong\u003ea great news for farmers\u003c\/strong\u003e!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMahwit’s journey \u003cstrong\u003efrom neglect to promise\u003c\/strong\u003e testifies to the perseverance, innovation, and community spirit of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rabbit Hole Roasters","offers":[{"title":"250 g \/ Whole Beans","offer_id":44063794331830,"sku":"","price":60.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 g \/ Espresso Grind","offer_id":44063794364598,"sku":"","price":60.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 g \/ Filter Grind","offer_id":44063794397366,"sku":"","price":60.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kg \/ Whole Beans","offer_id":44063794430134,"sku":"","price":240.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kg \/ Espresso Grind","offer_id":44063794462902,"sku":"","price":240.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kg \/ Filter Grind","offer_id":44063794495670,"sku":"","price":240.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 kg \/ Whole Beans","offer_id":44063794528438,"sku":"","price":399.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 kg \/ Espresso Grind","offer_id":44063794561206,"sku":"","price":399.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 kg \/ Filter Grind","offer_id":44063794593974,"sku":"","price":399.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0065\/8895\/6756\/files\/Rabbit_Hole_Wadi_Mahyad_Womens_producers_Bag.png?v=1759761495","url":"https:\/\/www.rabbitholeroasters.mom\/products\/women-producers-wadi-mahyad","provider":"Rabbit Hole Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
