The National Coffee Management Association of Colombia, like the National Management Association of Kenya, is a model of coffee organization. Compared with other producing countries, Colombia is more concerned with developing products and promoting production. It is this, coupled with its superior geographical and climatic conditions, that makes Colombian coffee excellent in quality and delicious and famous all over the world. The status of coffee in Colombia is illustrated by the fact that all vehicles entering the country must be sprayed and sterilized so as not to inadvertently cause disease and damage coffee trees.

Colombia is fortunate to have Atlantic and Pacific ports, which helps to reduce the cost of transporting coffee. In South America, she is the only country with this condition. The main production areas of Colombia are in the central and eastern mountains. The most important plantations along the central mountains are located in Medellin, Almenia and Manisales.

Taken together, these three areas are called MAM. The outstanding quality of Colombian coffee is related to its special geographical location and climatic environment. Coffee trees in Colombia are mainly cultivated in the Andes, where three mountains run from north to south, with an elevation of about 1300 meters, a year-round temperature of about 18 degrees Celsius and an annual rainfall of 2000 to 3000 millimeters.

The farms in Tolima are generally slightly larger than those in other southern Colombian producing areas, ranging from 10 to 15 hectares. The cooperative approach is also popular here, where farmers send their small batches of fresh coffee and fruit to the cooperative's processing plant.
