The SPECIALTY COFFEE PRODUCER TOLIMA GRANDE was created on June 17, 2019, in the San Agustín village of the Planadas municipality in Tolima, with the aim of establishing an organization that would defend the interests of agricultural workers in the municipality, seeking alternative solutions for their production processes and the commercialization of their products.
-
Therefore, 80 affiliated producers decided to implement coffee farming free from chemical inputs, carrying out organic and sustainable processes in their production units to contribute to the well-being of society and the environmental conservation of ecosystems, achieving socially just and economically viable development.
-
After the first year, new producers from the department joined, as well as some from the Huila department, who wanted to be part of this project. For this reason, the decision was made to change its corporate name and address, naming it the AGRICULTURAL PRODUCERS TOLIMA GRANDE, since formerly the two departments were one and were called Tolima Grande.
-
The organization has 119 producers located in Tolima and Huila, who are already certified Organic and Fairtrade USDA. Additionally, a transition process is underway in the Caquetá and Quindío departments for the new incorporation of 80 producers who would become part of this project.
-
Indeed, the organization is working towards its vision of becoming direct exporters of its products while maintaining their quality and profiles, thus achieving a positive, fair, and profitable impact. The organization aims to make an impact on the international market with high-quality products, as well as to compete in and sustain a national market.
