Peru San Ignacio Organic

Located in the north of Peru, close to the border of Ecuador, the town of San Ignacio is nestled along the Andes mountain range. The area is characterized by steep and lush slopes with single roads curling along. Agriculture is the driving income in this region, with coffee being one of the main crops. In 2001, 106 coffee farmers came together to set up a cooperative. Nowadays, the cooperative counts a total of 385 members, of which one-third are women producers. Together they handle around 1,100 ha of smallholder coffee plantations, averaging 2-3 ha/farmer. To further improve their coffee quality and productivity, they invested in a wet mill, a dry mill, a warehouse and even their own quality control lab.
