Uchumachi La Paz, Bolivia

12.95 GBP

This specific lot comes from three producers in Uchumachi, one of Bolivia’s oldest coffee-growing regions. In the 1950s and 1960s, sawmills came into this land and constructed roads that later assisted with agricultural production. Coffee production soon took off, reaching its peak in 1990 thanks to the efforts from USAID, which supported coffee development as a part of efforts to eradicate coca plantations. Through this initiative, farmers received essential resources to improve and maintain coffee production. Between 1990 and 2000, coffee producers in Uchumachi gained valuable experience and connected with international markets, notably through the Cup of Excellence (COE) program.
