Peru Green Coffee Beans

In the mid-1900s, the Peruvian government redistributed land from large plantations to thousands of local farmers. This abundance of fertile land was ideal for growing high quality specialty coffee. Since that time Peru has been doing precisely that. With encouragement from the government via economic planning and sourcing policies, Peruvian coffee farming and organic certification, in particular, has soared. 

Peru coffee production is concentrated along three regions: the Amazonas, San Martín, and Chanchamayo (Central Highlands), cutting a swatch through the country with two ports to the north and south. Around 150,000 smallholder farming families produce four million bags of coffee annually, with the US being the top market for Peru green coffee beans. Read more in our Peru Origin Report. 

Finca Churupampa Coffee Cooperative

The Tocto Bermeo family founded Finca Churupampa in 2011, and the cooperative now covers over 300 farming and producing families in the Chirinos region. In addition to optimizing members' profitability and environmental responsibility through sustainable business models, the cooperative also encourages productive diversification to ensure food security for all members. This includes vegetable-growing and small animal-rearing. The cooperative's priority is improving the overall quality of life for farming families. They achieve this through incentivizing coffee quality and, beyond that, reinvesting in constant improvement over the years.

Peru is the world’s 5th largest producer of Arabica coffee and it is gaining in popularity. The thin air, soaring altitudes, and fertile soil throughout Peru come together to form a breathtaking environment where coffee thrives. But sharing a border with the largest coffee-producing nation in the world is not easy. While Brazil’s efficiency and price points are unmatched, Peru finds its footing in differentiation and variety, making every harvest something to look forward to.
