Current situation of coffee in Bolivia

Bolivia can be said to be a very poor production area, production decline year after year is not even as bad as Hawaii, the situation is so tragic that the COE Cup was suspended in 2009. In addition to the natural isolation of the terrain, the government's negative inaction and even hindrance is also a major factor. Most of the tree species planted here are Bourbon and Typica with low traditional yield, and a few are Caturra or Catuai. However, due to the lack of proper technical guidance and financial support, the local agricultural garden lacks proper management, pruning, breeding, elimination of old trees, and so on. As a result of the decrease in output, farmers' incomes are even lower, and they are even more unable to make improvements, and some agricultural gardens have been abandoned at all. In addition, farmers in the region often face drug cultivation whose incomes can be multiplied several times, making the situation even more difficult. When we drink the wonderful coffee in this area, don't forget that we not only support the local sustainable coffee industry, but also play an important role in the fight against the drug industry.

Bolivian tomorrow Sun Project

Agricafe founded by Pedro Rodriguez and his son Pedro Pablo and daughter Daniela's family. Agricafe can be said to be an important driving force in reviving Bolivia's boutique coffee industry, and now it is almost an important pillar of Bolivia's boutique coffee industry. Several well-known roasters in Europe and the United States, such as Intelligentsia, Has Bean, Stumptown, Drop Coffee, 49th Parellel, Maruyama … It is almost always possible to buy Agricafe beans. Pedro has created several important private estates in the Karanabi producing area, such as Finca Don Carlos and Finca Alastias. What is even more exciting is that Finca El Fuerte Manor has also been created in the high-altitude area of Saint Cruz, the eastern producing area of Bolivia, which has been harvested this year.

They mentioned that coffee farmers in Bolivia currently produce only 2-4 bags of coffee beans per hectare for the reasons mentioned above. To be sustainable, the production capacity should be 30-35 bags per hectare. So in addition to his own estate, Pedro started the El Sol de Manana project with the dream of reviving Bolivian boutique coffee and taking care of the lives of coffee farmers. The project put a lot of effort into mentoring member small farmers, providing technical support for various important technologies such as breeding, pruning, fertilization, and harvesting, and purchasing cherries harvested by member small farmers at higher prices, and using Agricafe's own processing plant for post-processing, so that farmers' income and quality can enter a good cycle of sustainable management.
