Monsalot is located in the southwest of the Colombian province of Ulla, and most of its farmers grow on a small scale, treating coffee as a staple agricultural product in exchange for cash. The New Millennium Farmers' Association (GrupoAsociativoProductoresdelNuevoMilenio) was set up a few years ago to improve the quality of coffee and expect to sell raw beans at higher prices. In addition, in 2005, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) launched the Colombian boutique coffee program in the city, introducing American boutique raw bean traders to cooperate with the Millennium Farmers' Association. They sent people to Monsalot to participate in coffee production, and knew that farmers were improving their planting techniques and producing better coffee. In the boutique coffee market, they also provided suggestions on how to position and market.

At present, the New Millennium Peasants' Association has 42 members and can produce about three containers (about 825 bags) of raw coffee beans a year. In order to improve the quality, the New Millennium Peasants' Association continues to recruit new members in Monsalot, hoping to expand the scale of production. In addition, with the assistance of USAID and American traders, they have set up a local cup testing laboratory to teach farmers the method of cup testing, hoping that farmers can pass through the cup to judge the quality of coffee, which will be helpful to coffee production.
