Karen Chinchilla

Karen Chinchilla is the Executive Director of the Coffee Exporters Association (Adec) in Guatemala, where she plays a crucial role in navigating the challenges faced by the coffee export sector. Recently, she has been in the news discussing the impact of a 10% tariff imposed by the United States on Guatemalan coffee exports, highlighting how this could affect prices and the competitiveness of local producers. Chinchilla pointed out that while some impacts have been absorbed by exporters, the long-term effects could threaten the entire coffee value chain, including future harvests.
