After the coffee is cut
There are those who say that coffee growing in El Salvador has disappeared. Nothing could be further from the truth. In the midst of the abundant coffee plantations in the canton of La Cruz in Santa Ana, which still cover extensions of the national territory, there is life, there are dreams that struggle every day to move forward.
María Luisa Carranza de Oviedo, 50 years old, travels with her husband, to earn a living by cutting coffee, a task she repeats every year.
Iris Mendoza is a 28-year-old mother who carries her 12-month-old son, Neftali Mendoza, on the farms. She has been harvesting coffee for seven years.
Each story frames a dedication to the only job they have had in their entire lives.
