Peru (Peru) is also a big coffee producer. Up to 98% of Peruvian coffee is grown in forest areas, and most producers are small farmers.

Peru has good economic conditions and a stable political situation, thus ensuring the good quality of coffee. However, there are many local problems, in addition to guerrilla warfare and drug trafficking, the emergence of cholera along the coast in the mid-1990s led to a further economic depression, and what is more, the annual inflation rate reached 7000%.

In the mid-1970s, Peruvian coffee production was about 900000 bags a year, and then steadily increased to about 1.3 million bags a year. Although private exporters buy coffee in remote areas through middlemen, the main market is still monopolized by the government. Then came the private Comera de Exportadores de Cafe del Peru, which is committed to improving the quality of coffee. Its primary task is to set standards and eliminate inferior products, thus creating an atmosphere of quality supremacy. This positive move heralds a bright future for the coffee industry. Since then, rising prices have encouraged farmers to actively grow coffee rather than cocoa, the region's traditional cash crop.

Peru's finest coffee is produced in Chanchmayo, Cuzco, Norte and Puno. Most Peruvian coffee is grown under natural conditions, but it is also difficult to confirm the cultivation of all coffee trees. The price of caffeine grown under natural conditions is 10% to 20% higher than that of others. In terms of poverty, farmers may not have the money to buy chemical fertilizers and pesticides, but it is really difficult to confirm all the coffee.

The quality of Peruvian coffee is comparable to that of any kind of coffee in Central or South America. The high quality coffee produced by Peru is shipped to Germany for blending and then to Japan and the United States, which also illustrates its high standard of quality.

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 of which are collected and processed and sold through cooperatives, which is the current mainstream of boutique coffee. In the past 10 years, the EL GUABO Guavu community has improved the development of small batches of coffee beans on an organic basis, and often holds competitions to reward and certify growers.
