Peru and coffee have a long and fruitful history, however, it is not recognized by many. Coffee is one of the traditional agricultural products that Peru exports the most, representing about 9.5% of all agricultural exports, and resulting in widespread growth throughout the entire Amazonian Andes.

Thanks to its distribution and the profitability coffee generates, there are more than 220 thousand families that are directly benefited from coffee. Most coffee growers own their own land and harvest the coffee using traditional cultivation practices. Despite the challenges that the industry faces each year, coffee generated close to 638 million dollars in 2020.

The Peruvian coffee trade is very important and every day more people are directly benefited by it, in addition to the progressive recognition of the quality of Peruvian coffee.
