The Cooperativa Agraria Cafetalera Valle R\u00edo Apur\u00edmac, founded on 14 December 1969, is an organisation that was created with the aim of strengthening the production and rural management capacity of its members in order to improve their quality of life and ensure the well-being of their families, all on a socially responsible basis. Its main objective is to provide efficient support services to its members in the production and marketing of coffee and cocoa.<\/p>\n
It is located in the Apur\u00edmac River Valleys, belonging to the regions of Ayacucho, Cuzco and Jun\u00edn. The cooperative works with some 2,750 members and was the first Peruvian cooperative to have its products Fairtrade-certified in 2011. This has allowed it to invest in environmental programmes to support and improve organic farming and in organic certification.<\/p>\n
They also work for gender equity with the \"Women's Leadership\" project, which aims to improve the recognition and participation of rural women in the cooperative. In addition, they also offer microcredit systems and improvements in production, among other benefits.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":9318,"template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9079","cooperativa","type-cooperativa","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
