World of Triqui Mexico

The Triqui cultural people are poor individuals who survive by working hard and supporting each other. Their peasant society depends on agricultural duties, the harvesting of the land, the use of instruments, the care of the animals, and the gathering of wood for the well being of everyone in the family. The man will be in charge of the farming and maintaining the lands while the woman helps out by basket weaving and making clothes. The system works well because the different crops and clothes made are taken to the nearest city to be sold or traded for supplies and necessities.

The men tend to their two main cash crops which are coffee and bananas. The bananas are packed into crates and marketed in nearby towns, while the coffee is sold to middlemen in those towns also. The government has put in policies to ensure the people received fair prices for their coffee.
