23 next-generation coffee farmers
The term 'next-generation coffee farmers' in Colombia refers to a collective of young producers, often aged 14 to 30, who are participating in specialized development programs. These farmers are focused on transforming traditional coffee farming into sustainable, innovative, and profitable business operations. They are frequently supported by mentorship initiatives that emphasize quality, experimentation, and international market relevance.
History
Facing an aging demographic in the Colombian coffee sector, where the average farmer age is 57, these young producers are being mentored to modernize production. They are actively encouraged to experiment with processing techniques and small-batch production to increase the value of their crops. This movement is supported by organizations such as Cooperandes, Unblended Importers, and the Hanns R. Neumann Stiftung.
