CAFE Y COCOA CHAMBER

The Peruvian Chamber of Coffee and Cocoa Founded in 1991, it represents the main export and processing companies in the sector in Peru.

Their work is focused on the promotion of Peruvian coffee and cocoa, particularly taking care of its quality and sustainability. It has supported the implementation ofquality standards for coffee and cocoa.

The Chamber had the first Coffee Quality laboratory in Peru, which since 1997 supports continuous improvement and the implementation of standards.

They have delivered more than 210 quality courses and coffee tasting and trained more than 1,800 people.

It organises the main events in the sector: EXPOCAFE Peru, which serves more than 10,000 people and the Lima Coffee Shop Contest that strengthens the promotion of Peruvian coffee across the capital and country.

They have also organised coffee quality contests and rewarded producers, baristas and tasters for their work. Since 2016, it has been carrying out adaptation and mitigation projects to climate change, carrying out important studies of the possible impact of these processes and the sustainability alternatives that Peru can implement.

Since 2019, it has promoted the internal coffee consumption agenda, with studies, activations and campaigns that account for the multiple formats and preparations of life, as well as consumption trends both inside and outside the home.

Peru wants to stay among the top 10 coffee producers in the world, and to do so it must improve its productivity, maintain constant coffee quality and develop an internal market that allows diversifying prices in the volatile coffee market.

For this reason, the Chamber seeks to generate and bring technical productive, commercial and management information closer to all the actors in the chain in Peru: producers, cooperatives, intermediaries, exporters, roasters, baristas and consumers,inordertopromoteagreements that cement the identity of Peruvian coffee and its people.
