The farmers of Amoju are a family that seeks the common interest before their own and therefore rely on the support of institutions, which with transparency and honesty help so many farmers from different countries to market their coffee directly and are able to have a benefit that allows development as a family, as an institution and as farmers.
This cooperative consists of 340 growers, of which more than 20% are women, located on the left bank of the Maranon River in Peru.
Producers have been dedicated to the production of coffee with practices that mitigate climate change since their founding in 2016.
The entire process of coffee production is completed on the producers’ 3-5 hectare farms. The best nursery grown seedlings are selected to be planted, seeds of good quality and high germination power is vital. Special care is taken during the de-pulping stage to remove the skin and mucilage, it is never done on the day of harvest. The beans are fermented using two different methods of wet or washed and in Yukamama, they try to minimise the use of water during the whole process.
