Peru - Alta MontañaSituated within the Amazonas region of Peru, the Alta Montaña Cooperative is made up of coffee producers from the region’s provinces of Rodríguez de Mendoza, Chachapoyas, Luya, Utcubamba and Bagua. The Cooperative actively seeks to improve the quality of life for its members through strong quality harvests, organic certification and complementary economic activities, such as marketing of crops and business management support. As well as coffee, the cooperative supports the wider community by participating in schemes that aim to improve the quality of local cattle, fisheries and aquaculture, as well as the planting of bio gardens within nearby towns and districts. |
Honduras - LiquidámbarCreated in 2014 by a group of six friends predominantly involved with the COCAFELOL Cooperative, Finca Liquidámbar has an ethos of addressing social and environmental issues throughout their coffee production processes. Fifteen hectares remain dedicated to forest and are left wild with the farm itself named after the trees native to the area. Experiments around coffee pulp-developed compost processed by Californian red worm are being carried out on the farm and mucilage is being used to make products that serve as foliar fertiliser for the farm. These experiments with organic fertiliser have been so successful that they have brought the techniques to the COCAFELOL Cooperative and rolled them out to other organic coffee producers in Honduras as well as other countries. |
