What is organic coffee?

Coffee producing countries generally use a large number of fertilizers and pesticides to suppress pests and diseases and increase production. However, these chemical reagents destroy the natural nutrients in the soil, seep out the groundwater and even pollute the rivers. With the expansion of output, the land is also seriously damaged. In producing countries, many varieties, such as Kaddoura, Kaduyi, and Timor, are cultivated by inorganic fertilizers, which can withstand the sun without shading, which is tantamount to encouraging farmers to cut down forests and occupy land, which is good for nature.

Organic coffee emphasizes not using chemical fertilizers and pesticides, but using organic fertilizer, kitchen waste, or poultry manure compost, and using ancient shading cultivation. This is the best way to grow hibiscus and bourbon, but the yield of beans per hectare is only a few hundred kilograms, which is far lower than several tons of inorganic cultivation, so the production cost of organic coffee is higher.

Peru, a mysterious country, has a dry plateau climate in the Andes in the west and a humid tropical climate in the Amazon plain in the east. The intersection of two landforms and climate forms a rich microclimate with large temperature difference between day and night. Peru and Colombia belong to an inherently superior coffee paradise.

With an annual output of more than 200,000 tons of coffee, Peru is the eighth largest producer in the world, second only to Brazil, Colombia and Mexico in Central and South America, and occupies an important position in the global coffee industry, because Peru is the largest and cheapest exporter of organic coffee in the world. As early as 1887, Peru exported a lot of coffee. In recent ten years, it has been found that organic coffee has great business opportunities in Europe and America. However, coffee fields in mountainous areas of Peru have no running water and electricity facilities. Poor Indians have been used to organic farming since ancient times, and now they can't afford or use pesticides and fertilizers.

The authorities took advantage of the trend to develop the organic coffee industry and obtained government certification. If it meets the requirements, they will issue an export certification for organic coffee. Peru enjoys a relatively low production cost and a large niche, and soon becomes the largest and cheapest organic coffee exporter in the world. The other two major producers of organic coffee are Mexico and Ethiopia, but the prices are higher.

The authorities intend to develop Peru into the world's leading organic coffee country, just as Vietnam is the world's largest Robusta coffee producer. However, the low price strategy has aroused the dissatisfaction of many producing countries, who believe that Peru is deliberately destroying the market. Although Peru is surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is easy to grow high-quality extremely hard coffee beans, but the strategy of seizing the market at low prices has affected the quality of coffee. Farmers often ignore the post-processing process in order to rush the output, and there are too many substandard beans, many of which have become important formula beans for foreign organic coffee importers to reduce costs.

Although Peru dumps organic coffee at a low price, it does not mean that there is no fine coffee. In the SCAA "Coffee of the Year" Cup test of 20 10, Tiebica produced by Secovasa Cooperative in Puno, southeastern Peru narrowly beat the famous Bana Emerald Manor by 89. 1 point and won the fifth place.

The coffee fields in Peru are mainly distributed in Cagamaca in the north, Cuzco and Puno in the south. More than 50% coffee varieties are Gutibica, and the rest are Kaddoura, Cardinal and Bourbon. This is a good variety combination. If it is mainly Cartier, it is difficult to enter the European and American boutique markets. Peru's soil and water, high altitude and variety combination are the biggest niches for the development of fine coffee. Winning the fifth place in SCAA's "Coffee of the Year" is a demonstration of strength.
