The coffee from the community of Myin Dwin is a great example of coffee’s capacity to support positive change in a community. Myin Dwin is one of the smaller groups in terms of acreage, but their productivity is exceptionally high for Myanmar.
Money from specialty coffee production in Myin Dwin has been used to buy bikes to make children’s trips to the area high school less time consuming, and has helped send older kids to college. Coffee profits have also built a community well and a medical clinic.
