Fundada en 2004, CAC Ubiriki es una cooperativa peruana de pequeñas familias cafetaleras, situada en la región de Junín, en el área de la selva húmeda central del país. La cooperativa cuenta con certificación de Comercio Justo y orgánica para su café. Nace de un proyecto piloto denominado «Proyecto Café Sostenible», implementando en tres Escuelas de Campo de Agricultura llamadas ECAs, una metodología moderna de educación para personas adultas. De la confianza generada entre las personas agriculturas participantes de las ECAs, se decidió formar esta cooperativa.

Junín is a region with many coffee plantations and a climate conducive to high quality beans. In general, the local population is poorly educated, the region's infrastructure is precarious and there are high levels of malnutrition, so many people have left the region in search of economic opportunities in the city. The cooperative is working to reverse this trend by improving the production and marketing of quality and sustainable coffee, negotiating favourable conditions and improving the income of its members and associates.

Its aim is to work in a united and organised way to produce environmentally responsible speciality coffees and to access the international market to improve the standard of living of its members and the community.
