Bolivian coffee flavor describes what is "tomorrow Sun Project" and Bolivian COE

Bolivian coffee beans are concentrated in rural areas of Yungas, with about 95 per cent of production. Other developing regions include Santa Cruz, Beni, Cochabamba, Tariha and Pando. Despite the existence of commercial farms and estates, the Government's land reform has expropriated most of the large land and redistributed it to rural families. These small plots of land cover an area of 1-8 hectares and produce 85-95% of Bolivian coffee, most of which are Arabica coffee, organically grown.

Bolivia's "tomorrow Sun Project", that is, the plan to comprehensively promote Bolivian coffee, requires a lot of money and effort to coach small farmers, including technical support, breeding, pruning, harvesting and other important technology. and buy small farmers' coffee at high prices, so that farmers' income is the same as the quality of coffee and enter a good cycle.

The most famous producing area in Bolivia is Caravani, the most famous of which is Yongas Road, the world's most dangerous road nicknamed the Road of death, which was named "the most dangerous road in the world" by the Inter-American Development Bank in 1995.

For the past three decades, Pedro Rodriguez (Pedro Rodriguez) has been working to bring Bolivian coffee beans around the world. Although Bolivia has the ideal conditions for growing boutique coffee, years of agricultural challenges and failures have convinced many farmers that the dream of success and prosperity is out of reach. In order to face the difficulties head on, Pedro bought his own land, sent his children to agricultural schools, and set up coffee plantations for education and demonstration. In 2014, he launched the tomorrow Sun Project, which aims to educate growers to grow high-quality Bolivian coffee beans with a responsible attitude and sustainable economy.

Bolivia is one of the five most diverse countries in the world. It is a landlocked country surrounded by five countries and deeply affected by it. It has a population of more than 1000. The indigenous Indians, who account for about 60% of the total population, are divided into 36 ethnic groups. Mixed Indo-European (Mestizo) accounts for 26%, in addition to 100 European and other ethnic groups. There are Illmani peaks up to 6462 meters above sea level, Lake Titicaca, the highest and navigable alpine lake in the world, and tropical rain forests! Such a variety of terrain can be said to be a paradise for fine coffee micro-batches. However, the production of Bolivian coffee is declining year by year.

From 1997 to 2014, the export volume dropped to only 1 stroke 4 every year. According to Roast Magazine, its coffee production ranked 38th and even ranked 35th in the United States. Fine micro-batches of Bolivian coffee can be said to be very precious and hard to find. This is due to the backward economic development and infrastructure of Bolivia, which is still the poorest country in South America. In addition, due to the unique and changeable terrain, Bolivia has become a key factor in coffee processing, transportation and quality killer because of poor infrastructure.

Compared with other Latin American countries such as Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica and Guatemala, Bolivia produces very small amounts of coffee. The specialty coffee industry began to develop in the 1990s and 21st century, when foreign aid-funded development projects set up coffee washing plants and provided farmers with training programs on how to harvest and dry coffee correctly, so that only good beans can be selected. prevent fermentation and maintain quality. The highlight of these coffee training programs was the COE Competition held in Bolivia from 2004 to 2009. This famous project trained farmers in quality control techniques and invited international coffee judges to choose the best Bolivian coffee beans. Jorge Valverde is the coordinator of the COE Program in Bolivia from 2007 to 2009.

Unfortunately, the Bolivian COE project was cancelled after the competition in 2009 because the Bolivian Government was very anti-American and did not want the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to finance any more development plans in Bolivia, and there were no other plans. The source of funding for the COE project.
