Additionally, there is increasing numbers of farmers who have decided to grow organically in order to improve the quality of their crops as well as reduce the use of pesticides on their land. Cenfrocafe is a farm in the provinces Jaen and San Ignacio, in northwestern Peru close to the border of Ecuador. The coop consists of 2400 farmers who are members of the coop who cultivate their coffee on small plots of land between 1300 to 2000 meters, between 4300 and 6500 feet at the highest altitudes in the region. Farmers take extra care to ensure the harvest is picked just at the right time, to get the best out of the beans.

Peru Arabica Peru is a country that produces a lot of high-quality coffee. The thin air and the high altitudes create a perfect environment for producing the crop. The country is the ninth largest producer of coffee accounting for 2% of global production. It is also a leading producer of organic and Fair Trade Coffee. Originating from Ethiopia, the coffee plant was introduced to Peru by the Spanish in the 16th century. Peru has been a major participant in the world's coffee trade ever since. It is now among the top five producers of Arabica. The country is home to small farm families that have largely joined together to form cooperatives. This has enabled them to access fair trade prices and to market their beans directly. Small farms are also encouraged to use eco-friendly methods to lessen the environmental impact on their coffee production. Volcafe's cluster program has helped stabilize the supply chains for roasters, while allowing for a detailed traceability from field to FOB contract. This allows roasters to see the full picture of their purchases and make informed choices every day. This approach is a key element in the success of Volcafe's collaboration with farmers in Peru. In the past, many farmers have been encouraged to grow coffee as a replacement for coca plants. The government is still looking for ways to replace these illegal crop with coffee that will bring in more profits for the coffee industry. While the change is positive however, it could pose a challenge to the local population, too. In the end, it is important to provide farmers with sufficient financial support to maintain their livelihoods, and to ensure that their families' health and well-being are not compromised. It is also essential to encourage the development of innovative products that can boost productivity and enhance the quality of coffee.

Colombian coffee is typically grown between 1,200 and 2,000 metres above the sea level. Here, the best Colombian coffee beans are harvested and grown. The finest quality Colombian beans are usually called Supremo. This refers to the size of the beans (screen sizes 17 and 18). After harvest, the cherries are carefully selected by hand, ensuring only healthy and fully ripe beans make it to the remainder of the process. At this stage the ripe cherries are separated from the beans, which are washed and dried in the sun. The washed beans are then separated and sorted by quality control teams, according to their size, colour and density, ensuring only high-quality consistent coffee gets onto supermarket shelves across the world. Farmers and workers are paid a Fairtrade premium, which is a sum of money added to the purchase price. This allows them to invest in community or business projects of their choice. Fair Trade supports small-scale farmers to organize themselves into cooperatives and small producer organizations, enabling them to access larger markets. This money is reinvested directly into the communities where coffee is grown. It contributes to a sustainable development model, and also protects the environment. It also provides secure working conditions, legally-regulated hours of work and freedom of association as well as zero tolerance for child labor and slavery.

In a region renowned for its volcanic soil, it should come as no surprise that the fertile soil is perfect for growing coffee. This abundant natural resource, however, is being threatened by foreign coffee growers who have taken over the industry. Many local farmers aren't able to compete with the costs of these big corporations and have been pushed to leave their farms. The absence of direct trade opportunities means that for every $3 cup of coffee there is only $0.15 goes to the farmer on average. Fair trade is crucial because this system must be changed. By establishing direct trading relations farmers can increase their income security and prevent radical changes in market demand from one season to the next.
