About the Producers

In the remote highlands of Nuevo Paraíso, Cafeco is more than a coffee project — it’s a movement. For the past four years, this dynamic team has worked alongside farmers to build infrastructure, resilience, and quality from the ground up. It began with a warehouse and a nursery, where Cafeco provides farmers with high-yield, rust-resistant coffee varieties to farmer partners free of charge. Now, they’re taking the next bold step: installing their own dry mill, funded by quality premiums, so farmers no longer face grueling journeys down rough mountain roads just to process their harvests.
