CQI started work in Nicaragua with the Coffee Corps program and the CADR (Central American and Dominican Republic) program - funded by USAID. All aspects of the industry were addressed; roasters, baristas, cooperatives, production, and processing. Nicaragua was one of the first countries where Q graders began through the Star Cupper program.
