Founded in 1979, Casa Ruiz, S.A., is a business started by the Ruiz-Arauz couple, and their next generation has gradually joined the management class in recent years. Founder Plinio Antonio Ruiz Gonzalez, born in 1922, is a second-generation coffee farmer in the Poquette region of Panama, surrounded by coffee trees and orange forests in his childhood. At the beginning, the family's coffee business was not very smooth, so it turned to flower planting and trading. After graduating from primary school, Ruiz went to study at a continuing school in Guatemala, but a year later, due to financial constraints, he returned to his hometown to help his mother run the family farm. A few years later, Ruiz began to deal in fruit and vegetable trade and traveled all over the country. With more than 20 years of trading experience, coupled with the unique environmental conditions of Poquette's location in the Balu volcano, it has always been a famous coffee producing area, coffee trading has once again become the most important business of the Ruiz family. Elisa Arauz de Ruiz married Ruiz in 1957, and then she became a mother of four and helped her husband run the family business, which grew brilliantly in the late 1960s, whether in coffee or fruits and vegetables. But after the outbreak of the Poquet flood in 1970, everything went downhill, her home was devastated and her career was abandoned. It took two years for the coffee business to get back on track. Ruiz cooperates with roasters to export. Since the 1970s, the business potential of the international coffee market has greatly attracted investment from local coffee farmers. Pokuit coffee farmers adhere to tradition, grow coffee in an environmentally friendly, natural shade and other ways to maintain the ecological environment, select traditional varieties suitable for local growth (such as Tibica), and seek sustainable management to produce high-quality coffee. With enthusiasm for coffee and ambition in the international market, Ruiz continues to expand its business territory, from planting and processing to marketing and export trade, Casa Ruiz, S.A. Integrate the entire industrial chain, focus on the growing boutique coffee market, in addition to their own farms, but also form cooperatives with high-quality estates or small farmers in the Pokuit region. At present, more than 300 small farms have joined, including traditional estates with a long history of Finca Berlina, Maunier Estate, Panamaria, Ruiz Organic. In all the high-quality farms that have been recognized repeatedly, there have been very good results in the Best of Panama Cup test bidding over the years.
