In the spotlight

In the Mixteca region in Western Oaxaca, Unión de Comunidades (Union of Communities) focuses efforts on commercializing their local agricultural products. Profits from these harvests indirectly benefit 135 family members in 4 separate communities, and aside from a variety of other food products, the group’s current venture is the production and sale of organic honey.


One member of the group, Kiat Nuu, shows us the garments used for organic honey cultivation.
