Colombia is a country with rich products such as sea water and pearls, as well as vast rainforests. With the Andes to the west, valleys and the equator to the south, this South American country has a unique geographical environment suitable for coffee cultivation.

The province of Cauca Department, named after the Cauca River River, is located in southwestern Colombia and is an important producer of fine coffee in Colombia along with Narino Department and Huila Department.

Cauca province is a certified coffee producing area in Colombia, with an average elevation of 1758m and a maximum elevation of 2100m. The topography, precipitation, temperature and volcanic soil of the area prepare suitable conditions for the growth of coffee.

The Cauca producing area is surrounded by high mountains, which block the airflow and water vapor from the Pacific Ocean and trade winds from the south, thus maintaining a stable climate. Near the equator, there is plenty of sunshine. The stable climate and sufficient sunshine provide a guarantee for the stability of coffee quality.

The biggest difference in climate between Cauca and other producing areas is probably the relatively large temperature difference. The daily average temperature is 11 ℃, while the daytime average temperature is 18 ℃ and the night average temperature is 4 ℃. The temperature difference between day and night is an important factor in quality coffee. The low temperature at night and the relatively higher altitude slow down the growth of coffee, making coffee seeds and beans more fully absorb the nutrients of coffee fruits, as well as the better acidity and commendable special sweetness of Coca Coffee.

Risaralda Fair Trade Cooperative of Colombia, located in coffee producing areas at an altitude of 1400 to 1800m. Cooperatives have joined the Fair Trade Organization since 2006, with more than 3800 producers, about one-fourth of whom are women.

Risaralda cooperatives use Fairtrade Community Development Fund to build safety equipment to make the working environment safe; to build a research laboratory to improve product quality; and to promote environmental education in the community, nurturing producers is not only a pillar of income, but also a sustainable protector of land.
