Since its establishment in 1960, Anacafé has evolved significantly. It has become the national coffee association representing all coffee producers in Guatemala and plays a key role in centralizing statistics of coffee production. Anacafé has defined eight coffee regions in Guatemala and built Analab coffee laboratories to ensure the quality of the coffee. Additionally, they have established a program called Funcafé to support the development of the coffee industry. However, Anacafé has also had to address labor issues, such as the use of child labor in some coffee productions in 2013.
