Alba Nidia Rojas Borbón is a coffee producer in Costa Rica. She is the one and only board member at CoopeAgri, a coffee and sugar cane cooperative in Perez Zeldon, Costa Rica. Fair Trade Towns USA took a trip in February and I was fortunate enough to strike up a friendship with Alba. She graciously allowed me to interview her. I live in Boulder, Colorado and we’re working to get our city designated a Fair Trade town. Thanks for watching this video! Cristina Aguilera
