The COMSA co-operative (Café Organico Marcala S.A.) is continually innovating and experimenting with organic practices, always with the emphasis on preserving local plant life.

Marcala coffee is produced under strict norms of organic production, particularly focused on the re-establishment of the ecological balance and recovering the soil. The farmers promote diversification and biodiversity on their plantations. Part of these practices is the use of shade, chiefly from the Inga tree and other plants such as Citrus and Musa (banana) trees.
