🇨🇴Colombia
Small Holder Farmers
Smallholder farmers in Colombia represent the backbone of the country's coffee industry, with over 550,000 families relying on coffee production for their livelihoods. These producers typically manage small plots of land, often averaging less than two hectares, and are renowned for their commitment to hand-picking ripe cherries and utilizing washed processing methods.
Farm: Small Holder Farmers →History
Coffee production in Colombia has been a central part of the national identity since its introduction in the sixteenth century. Today, smallholders contribute significantly to the country's status as one of the world's top three arabica exporters, supported by organizations like the Federación Nacional de Cafeteros de Colombia (FNC) which was founded in 1927.
