PRODUCER'S PROFILE
PROUD OF A MILLENARY TECHNIQUE
Our coffee growers have technical and artistic skills in their hands. They own ancient wisdom, and they pour it into their work every day. We carry out agricultural practices that meet the highest ecological and social standards. This ancient knowledge is the legacy of at least four generations of families dedicated to coffee cultivation, especially in the Cajamarca region, a proud pioneer of organic coffee production in Peru.
KNOWLEDGE
Our coffee growers have access to the technology and training necessary for the proper technical management of planting, harvesting and post-harvesting. This includes the adaptation of crops to climate change, with sustainable farms that reduce the loss of biodiversity. At the end of the day, we have full commitment to the land.
GEOGRAPHY
The coffee growing lands of Yakumama are located in the departments of Cajamarca and Amazonas, between 1550 to more than 2000 meters above sea level. These are two of the regions with the highest coffee production in Peru.
THEY ARE YAKUMAMA
Thanks to products such as coffee, our members have begun to take off towards sustained development, taking advantage of the greatest of their riches: their people.
We are the energy that is born in our lands and reaches the buyers, as a result of the union and the organized work of more than 1320 coffee growers from diverse zones, forming a great community of cooperatives with a single objective: to offer the best specialty coffees to the world.

For this reason, we carry out our production in harmony with the environment. This is one of our most powerful reasons for working this way.
The producers of Gallito de las Rocas work closely together, just as a family does, which makes us stronger as an organization and allows us to provide secure income for the whole community.
