The Global Action on the Green Development of Special Agricultural Products: One Country, One Priority Product (OCOP) is a five-year initiative launched by FAO in 2021, aimed at promoting agricultural products with distinct qualities that have the potential for sustainable development. The program seeks to enhance the value of these unique products at global, regional, and local levels, helping countries leverage their agricultural heritage while promoting environmentally friendly practices.In Latin America and the Caribbean, 14 countries have been selected to participate in the OCOP initiative. Each nation has chosen a specific agricultural product that reflects their unique cultural and environmental context. The goal is to support the green development of these products, ensuring they meet global sustainability standards and can contribute to the socio-economic development of the regions.This document addresses the situation in Guatemala. The OCOP product is coffee. Despite its global significance, with Guatemala as the ninth-largest coffee exporter worldwide, the industry faces key challenges. With the involvement of the National Coffee Association (Asociación Nacional del Café, ANACAFÉ), FAO, and other stakeholders, the initiative aims to create a national framework for innovation, coordination, and improved market access, positioning Guatemalan coffee as a model for inclusive and sustainable agriculture.
