CAUCA

CAUCA Cauca, best known for its coffee cultivation around Inza and Meseta de Popayan in Popayan, provides favorable growth conditions at high altitudes on the plateau and near the equator and surrounding mountains, which protects coffee from Pacific humidity and southern trade winds. This creates a very stable climate all the year round. In addition, coffee in the area has significant volcanic soil. According to historical records, there is a single rainy season from October to December every year.

NARINO

Some of Colombia's highest quality coffee is grown in Narinho, which is arguably the most amazing and complex. Growing coffee in many areas of these high elevations is a challenge, and coffee trees are likely to suffer from leaf blight. However, Narinho is close enough to the equator that the climate is suitable for planting coffee trees. Most of Narinho's 40,000 producers are small farmers, each with a planting area of less than 2 hectares (4.4 acres). Many people form groups and institutions to support each other and interact with FNC. In fact, the average size of the farm is less than 1 hectare (2.2 acres), and only 37 producers own more than 5 hectares (11 acres) of land in the area.

Altitude: 1500-2300 m (4900-7500ft)

Altitude: 1250-2000m
