Various certifications are popular in the field of boutique coffee, such as Fair Trade, but there are some exceptions in Narino.

There are about 30000 coffee farmers in the entire Narino producing area, but according to statistics from a fair trade promotion organization in 2012, there is only one Fairtrade certification body in the region, with fewer than 300 members. As a result, narino is honored to be selected as the organization's promotion pilot.

The reason for accepting the certification is to get a higher price, and narino coffee is not worried about the price.

First of all, the great FNC has a great promise to buy all the products of coffee farmers across the country at a reasonable price not lower than the market price. Then, thanks to the high quality, the price of narino coffee is better. Thirdly, the major customers of narino Coffee are Starbucks Coffee and Nesote Coffee, both of which have their own certification standards, which make the quality and price of narino coffee higher. So there is no shortage of money, the certification naturally lacks the continuous dryness of the market, followed by a rain, coffee trees will usher in the flowering season, in Narino, after the first precipitation in September, there will be a coffee flowering season, accordingly, starting in April of the following year, the harvest season will gradually enter the high-altitude producing areas, and the harvest season may last until August.

Most of the Narino producing areas are small farmers. After the coffee is harvested, most of the coffee farmers will wash and process the coffee themselves. As long as the way is proper, the quality of coffee can still be guaranteed. Usually, the coffee is picked, processed by a manual peeling machine, fermented in a container for 12-18 hours, then cleaned and dried. The drying method is to put it on an arc viaduct bed to dry in the sun.

Narino is close to the equator and may encounter rain during the harvest season. Unlike other producing areas, Narino uses a curved cover with openings at the bottom of both ends to ensure air circulation. When a rainy day comes, the Radian is not only convenient for drainage but also avoids condensation of water droplets on the inner top of the cover. Narino: coffee planting and processing

Narino has natural conditions for producing high-quality coffee: it is close to the equator, about 1 degree north latitude, and has plenty of light throughout the year; it is mostly above 1600m above sea level, and there are few peaks covered with snow all the year round. Steep mountains and long and steep slopes bring temperature diversity, warm and humid air rising from the canyon protects coffee grown at high altitude from the threat of frost, and coffee can be grown smoothly at an altitude of 2300m. Volcanic soil provides rich nutrients for the growth of coffee.

Narino has a peak distribution of rainfall throughout the year, with a rainy season that lasts from October of that year to May of the following year, and the dry season of June, July and August. But even in dry months, coffee farmers don't have to worry too much that warm trade winds from the southern continent will produce water vapor when they meet on cooler nights, replenishing coffee trees. In 1996, FNC set out to promote the Colombian Specialty Coffee cause and set up a hierarchical system.

In 2011, Narino Province became the first producing area to be protected by Denomination of Origin certification.

Origin Status Denominator is common in the field of agricultural production, the quality of crops has an important relationship with the growing environment, some areas will have a natural advantage in the cultivation of certain crops, such as wine. However, it not only includes congenital factors such as microclimate, but also needs comprehensive consideration of the historical and cultural background of the producing area. The quality is not only affected by the planting process, but also by post-harvest processing. The cultural and historical background will be reflected in this process.
