Fair-trade coffee from Peru, processed by the farmers themselves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The majority of Peruvian coffee \u2013 70% to be precise \u2013 comes from Northern Peru, the region of Oxfam partner Norandino. Cooperatives of small coffee farmers produce around 30 to 40% of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thriving Norandino cooperative succeeded in building their own processing plant<\/strong>. This is completely in the hands of its members. The coffee factory is ideally located, near the export harbour of Paita. What\u2019s more, it has sufficient capacity to also allow other cooperatives<\/strong> in the region (such as Oxfam partner Sol Y Caf\u00e9<\/a>) to ready their coffee for export.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Income from multiple sources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since its founding in 1995, Norandino has recognised the importance of income diversification<\/strong>. The cooperative ensures that its farmers are not solely dependent on coffee cultivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to coffee, they also grow cacao<\/a> (info in Dutch) <\/em>and cane for muscovado sugar<\/a>. These two crops have gained in importance over the years. Thanks to the great efforts of Norandino\u2019s professional management<\/strong>, its farmers can now export these products too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Maintaining high and consistent quality are Norandino\u2019s main areas of focus. In addition to this, we try to ensure that our members are not solely dependent on coffee cultivation.<\/p>Santiago Paz Lopez, Founder of Norandino<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
