Peru Cepicafe
Cooperative Cepicafe, Central Piurana de Cafetaleros, was created in 1995 as an efficient and professional union of 51 base organizations. Cepicafe represents the small scale coffee farmers of the Piuran Mountains and Cajamarca. Cepicafe is a union in which all members are constantly and democratically involved in making decision and it is a strong reference for the implementation of measures and actions. They are working to improve the conditions of life for its members, eradicate poverty and achieve sustainable development for the communities.
In the Piuran region, coffee production started 100 years ago, thanks to the introduction of a variety called "typical," also known as the Creole Coffee. This rustic variety is successful in the region because of its adaptation to the agro-climate conditions.
