Farm Overview:
Raw material has been working with Invercafe and two new coffee producer groups in Pitalito, Huila, to understand what is preventing farmers from accessing the specialty market. During these discussions we heard farmers describe their core challenges: a lack of key infrastructure; and lack of stable prices to provide certainty for investment in improved quality.
With a new 'Red Associations' infrastructure in place, individual farmers are paid a minimum price that is over double the household income of a typical coffee producing family and provides stable and sustainable prices for producers through a connection to the specialty market, improved quality control, and shared knowledge.
Good decafs are hard to find - this one is delicious so give it a try!
