Founded in 2015, Cooperativa de Jóvenes Pangoa is made up of 109 young coffee farmer members, with sons and daughters of CAC Pangoa members at its foundation, coming from native communities and migrants from throughout the Andes.
These smallholder producers across Peru's mountainous landscapes organically farm coffee on plots that are typically less than 1 hectare. The warm days and cool nights from their farms' locations at 1,200 to 1,600 meters above sea level, creates ideal conditions for growing dense, sweet beans.
Leaders of this cooperative are involved in the entire production process, from harvesting and wet processing to export logistics, ensuring a supply chain without intermediaries. The result is strengthened financial benefits and resiliency, and improved market access, for its members. With an emphasis also placed on continuous quality improvement and rigorous quality control processes to ensure excellence in every cup, members of the cooperative are producing high-scoring coffees with exceptional sweet, dense beans with notes of fruits, chocolate, and nuts.
