EL GUABO Guawu Community Organic Coffee in Peru

Peru began exporting coffee in 1887 and is now the eighth largest producer and the world's largest exporter of organic coffee, with an annual volume of 2 million bags, accounting for 5 per cent of total exports. More than 1/3 of the country's coffee is grown in the Cajamarca region in the north and Aprimark and Cusco in the south. The farms are mainly run by small farmers with an average size of no more than 5 hectares. The most common varieties are bourbon, Tibica, Pash and Kaddura.

Coffee can be grown up to 2200 meters and has many unique microclimates. Many coffees are collected and processed and sold through cooperatives, which is now the mainstream of boutique coffee. In the past 10 years, the EL GUABO Guawu community has improved the development of small batches of coffee beans on an organic basis, and often holds competitions to reward and certify growers.
