Peru produces less coffee annually than other countries that grow coffee beans, so special emphasis is placed on the cultivation of boutique coffee. In terms of planting and processing, the local manor is not only rigorous, but also mature in scale and system. Because of its strict quality control, Peruvian coffee has a very high international rating. Apart from winning awards in coffee competitions and cup testing competitions in Europe and the United States, the American Fine Coffee Association Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA) has even named the Peruvian El Tunki coffee as one of the "best boutique coffee in the world".

In addition, the Peruvian government has adopted planned cultivation in order to increase coffee production. Peruvian Deputy Minister of Agriculture Juan Escobar Guarda also stressed that coffee is one of the most widely grown crops in Peru and the most important agricultural product for export. In 2008, the Peruvian Ministry of Agriculture passed legislation to designate August 28 as the Peruvian Coffee Festival to promote the cultivation and consumption of Peruvian coffee. In recent years, Peru has developed friendly relations with China, and the Chinese government has promised to provide material support to Peru to provide Peruvian coffee industry with disaster resistance and prosperity, and hopes to bring Peruvian coffee to China, which has opened up huge business opportunities for Peruvian coffee.
