Peru - AlpacaThe Amazonas region in northern Peru borders Ecuador and is known for its dense cloud forests, rugged Andes mountain terrain and ancient ruins. The native forests create a microclimate that produces organic matter for soil, microorganisms and fresh water. Such microclimates present perfect opportunities to grow coffee, and APROCOYCE offers its members the chance to increase the quality of their crop via improved access to services such as technical assistance, financial support, social services and the facilities to cup the crop they are growing. Formed originally with 23 partners but now standing at just over 380, the aim was to come together to help facilitate negotiations, enter new markets, and obtain licenses or certifications for the export of coffee. Through this they have been able bring in environmental initiatives such as reforestation projects, solid waste management and soil conservation plans for the 750+ hectares that their members own. They now stand as one of the largest cooperatives in the area with not only a warehouse and administration offices, but a coffee lab too, which was created in 2021. |
Colombia - Sierra NevadaANEI are an organisation of native agroecological producers and farmers from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and the Serranía del Perijá mountain ranges. Aurora Izquierdo, the first Arhuaca native woman from Yewrwa community to study in Bogotá, founded ANEI in 1995 with the aim of organising the economy of the natives and surrounding farms. She has since developed into a leader who uses coffee to promote the cultural presence of the communities that have produced it. The implementation of eco-sustainable programs and projects in recent years has helped reclaim social, economic, and cultural rights for the communities, as well as providing food security and helping the environment through high-quality organic processing methods. |
