Peru – Sugarcane Decaf – Aprocassi Cooperativa

About This Coffee

Since 1999, small-scale farmers in San Ignacio de Aprocassi Cooperativa established this cooperative to counter environmental damage and the threat to their livelihoods from mining. Today, Aprocassi has 634 members working together on more than 1,535 hectares and producing an estimated 80 containers of coffee per year. The cooperative is Fairtrade and organically certified and uses the higher prices it receives thanks to these certifications to support its member producers through various projects, including income diversification through beekeeping and the establishment of nurseries.
