Farmer Julio Cesar Portillo from the Chahuite Cooperative pauses while clearing weeds at an abandoned coffee mill in Jayaque, west of San Salvador, September 26, 2014. Portillo used to grow arabica coffee beans until a devastating leaf rust fungus forced him to abandon coffee for the first time in more than 20 years and even when he struggled through low prices or bad weather in the past, he always dedicated a portion of his land to arabica. But this year, facing a third season of battling the worst outbreak of the disease known as roya in the region's history, he did not replant trees or treat those that had survived.
