Tapachula — Soconusco heirloom cooperatives
Mexico · Soconusco — Sierra Madre de Chiapas / Pacific coastal plain (Tapachula area)
concept
Around Tapachula, on the Pacific-facing Soconusco region of Chiapas, several smallholder cooperatives — CASFA (Centro de Agroecología San Francisco de Asís), the Rayen Sustainable Co-op led by Eder Herrera López, and Granos Selectos de la Montaña — are rescuing older Criollo-type cocoa lines in one of the oldest continuously cultivated cacao landscapes in the Americas. Soconusco was the heartland of pre-Olmec Mokaya cacao use as documented from sites such as Paso de la Amada.
