INTRODUCTION The Cooperativa Dos Agricultores Familiares Da Amazônia, also known as LACOOP, was established on March 27, 2017, by small coffee growers from the Matas de Rondonia Region, Brazil, with the expectation of seeking a greater appreciation of the market for the robust amazonian.
The cooperative was created with the mission of seeking greater added value for coffee and simultaneously influencing the improvement of the quality of coffees in the region. In 2019, the organization entered the Fairtrade certification process, having its certification validated in 2020. LACOOP made its first export of Premium Robusta Amazonian coffee to South Korea. It currently has samples of specialty coffees approved by more than 3 countries
COFFEE PRODUCTION The organization produces robust amazonian variety coffee, a process carried out predominantly by small producers in the region known as Matas de Rondonia. Ripe grains are collected and follow different forms of drying, the most frequent being: cement terrace, suspended terrace and greenhouse. Some producers have a structure to pulp the coffee.
BENEFITS OF FAIRTRADE For the Cooperativa Dos Agricultores Familiares Da Amazônia, the Fairtrade seal allows giving visibility to the work of the producers, give economic value to the coffee production and help in the construction and consolidation of a strong producer organization and with the power of negotiation with the markets. Due to its recent certification, the organization has yet to receive funding from the Fairtrade Premium.
