The women of Peru who grow this coffee are part of a movement called Cafe Femenino that is changing the role of women in rural coffee communities. The coffee is cultivated, processed and traded exclusively by women, which gives them the opportunity to use the additional funds generated from the sale of their product to improve their own and their families' health and well-being. Additionally, a percentage of the money spent on this coffee is donated back to the women who made it. This allows them to expand their business, provide education and healthcare to their children and support their families.

Peru Arabica

Peru has a wealth of high-quality coffee. The sluggish air and high altitudes of Peru make it the ideal place to grow coffee. The country is the ninth largest producer of coffee accounting for 2% of global production. It is also among the world's top producers of organic and Fair Trade coffee.

The Spanish introduced the Ethiopian coffee to Peru after the 16th Century. The country has been a major player in the international coffee trade ever since. It is one of the five major producers of Arabica.

Volcafe's cluster program has helped to stabilize the supply chain for roasters, while providing detailed traceability from field to FOB contract. This gives roasters the ability to make informed decisions and see their entire purchase history. This strategy is a key element in the success of Volcafe's work with farmers in Peru.

In the past, a lot of farmers were encouraged to cultivate coffee to replace coca plants. The government continues to seek ways to replace these illegal crops with coffee that can bring in more profits for the coffee industry. The move is positive but can also be a challenge for the local population.

It is therefore essential to provide adequate financial support to farmers to maintain their livelihoods, and to ensure that their well-being and health of their families are not affected. It is also important to encourage the development of innovative products that increase productivity and enhance the quality of coffee.

After the harvesting process, the coffee cherries need to be carefully selected by hand to ensure only healthy and fully ripe beans are allowed to continue the process. The ripe fruit, which is separated from the beans at this stage, is then washed in the sun and dried. The coffee beans that have been washed are then sorted and graded by quality control teams based on size color, density, and size. This assures that only consistent, high-quality coffee reaches supermarket shelves worldwide.

Farmers and workers are paid an Fairtrade premium. This is a portion of the money added to the sale price. This permits them to invest in community or business projects of their choice. Fair Trade supports small-scale farmers to form cooperatives and small producers that allow them access to larger markets.
