Importer Farm Notes: The silver lining to Mexico’s coffee rust epidemic and workforce migration away from abandoned coffee farms in the 2010s was the shift in social norms for women in agriculture. In traditional cultural roles, women often had limited access to resources, education, employment, and decision-making, even though they’ve always played an essential part in farming, entrepreneurship, and preservation of cultural heritage. This left female coffee farmers particularly vulnerable to inequality and exclusion.
