During the opening ceremony, municipal and state leaders—including Oaxaca de Juárez Mayor Ray Chagoya and State Governor Salomón Jara Cruz—praised the dedication of local farming families. Officials emphasized that the state’s standing as a premier producer of organic and shade-grown coffee is the direct result of generations of meticulous cultivation across Oaxaca’s unique microclimates.
