□ Peru has more than 11 million people engaged in agriculture-related work, the vast majority of whom are small farmers. Groups organized by small farmers play a particularly important role because of the long distance between cities and the high cost of transportation. In 2005, Fairtrade labelling International entered Peru to help Peruvian farmers enter the fair trade system and open up the international market. at present, more than 110 cooperatives have obtained fair trade labels.

Fair trade emphasizes that every link of the whole industrial chain, from consumers, traders, passers, producers, should be treated fairly, so if you want to obtain fair trade certification, you must comply with a certain degree of norms, such as giving farmers a reasonable income, friendly environment and so on.

In the past, the most direct way for farmers to increase their income was to continuously develop the rainforest and expand the planting area, making the original Amazon rainforest disappear 750000 square kilometers since the 1970s.

In recent years, the issue of environmental protection has been paid more and more attention, and how to make tropical rain forests and local farmers co-exist and co-flourish has also become an important topic in the world. So instead of cutting down the original forest, planting coffee trees in the shade has become one of the ways of sustainable utilization. In Peru, more than half of the coffee trees are planted in the shade. This can not only preserve the rainforest, but also improve the quality of coffee.

According to a report from the Public Television News topic Center, the road of Peruvian small farmers is getting wider and wider, making Peru the world's largest producer of organic coffee, with an export value of more than 200 million US dollars. The Peruvian government also deeply understands that organic agriculture is a road that is good for others and for themselves. in addition to encouraging small farmers to form associations or cooperatives, the Peruvian government also plans relevant supporting measures to make Peru the fifth largest exporter of organic agriculture.

Historical records...

Although coffee arrived in Peru relatively early in the mid-18th century, it was not until the 20th century that commercial exports began, European demand increased and Indonesian coffee production declined significantly. The British presence and influence in the country particularly helped to increase and promote exports: at the beginning of the 20th century, the British government acquired about 2 million hectares of land from the Peruvian government as payment of defaulted loans, most of which was converted into British coffee plantations.

As in many Central and South American countries, as large European land ownership was sold or redistributed throughout the 20th century, farms became smaller and more decentralized, providing independence for farmers, but also limited their access to resources and larger commercial markets. However, unlike many other countries where the coffee economy is dominated by smallholder farmers, Peru lacks organizations or infrastructure to provide economic or technical support to farmers-a loophole in addition to organization and certification. The country has a large number of certified organic coffee, as well as Fairtrade, Rainforest Alliance and UTZ certified coffee. About 30% of the country's small farmers are members of democratic cooperatives, which has raised the profile of coffee in the region, but has rarely brought incredibly high-quality products into the spotlight.

As of 2010, Peru was one of the top producers of Arabica coffee, ranking fifth in terms of world production and exports of Arabica coffee. The remoteness and small average size of coffee farms hinder the differentiation of large farms, which makes it possible for micro-area development and marketing in other growing areas, but like everything else in specialty coffee, this situation is changing rapidly. The country's lush highlands and good heirloom varieties provide growers with the potential to resist limited infrastructure and market access barriers, and as production increases, we are more likely to see these types of progress.
