Coffee Background:
Cooperatives play a vital role in the coffee industry of Peru, particularly in regions like the Provincia de Utcubamba in the Amazonas area. One such cooperative, Cooperativa Agraria Cafetalera Valle Alto (Valle Alto), exemplifies the support and structure provided to small coffee producers. Valle Alto is made up of 317 coffee producers from the Ocalli districts, who rely on the cooperative for various aspects of their coffee production.
For processing, these producers typically manage small plots of land where they cultivate coffee alongside other crops like shade trees, bananas, corn, and beans. The meticulous process of harvesting, sorting cherries, de-pulping, fermenting, washing, and drying the coffee is carried out using their own micro-mills, showcasing the hands-on approach of these local producers.
The cooperative's activities extend beyond processing to include essential support for small-scale farmers. Valle Alto oversees investments in infrastructure such as road enhancements, local warehousing, and export preparation. Additionally, the cooperative offers technical assistance to producers, guiding them from seed selection to coffee processing and assisting with certification processes. This comprehensive support ensures traceability and quality control throughout the post-harvest phase, showcasing the integral role cooperative play in sustaining and enhancing the livelihoods of coffee producers in Peru.
