About Yagual

Yagual is a certification process project which seeks to expand beyond gender equity emphasis and establish a well-defined women-owned assurance program that incorporates business skills, sustainability and environmental impact.

Furthermore, Yagual will become a market eco-system to bring together sellers and buyers. It will create a bridge for companies seeking to conduct business specifically with women-owned entities and individual proprietors who are currently or are ready to become scalable, environmentally conscious producers.

This assurance process will serve as a sustainability model for market access, product quality, empowerment, environmental awareness and provenance considerations in women-owned businesses in specialty coffee.
