Café Peru is a coffee packaging and marketing company created by coffee cooperatives from the central “selva” of Peru. It offers small cooperatives drying, sorting, and storage services through its Pichanaki plant and markets green coffee for export. SIDI is currently the main shareholder of Café Peru.
Peru is a middle-income country that possesses significant natural resources, both in mining and food. Nearly a third of the population lives in Lima. Large inequalities are observed between urban areas and Andean or Amazonian regions, which have a majority of indigenous populations. The informal sector’s share of employment represents 73%. Finally, Peru is experiencing a political and institutional crisis that has lasted since 2017.
Café Peru offers a service that small cooperatives in the area cannot afford and aims to be an instrument at the service of the development of small cooperatives in the region, notably by developing the social and environmental performance of its members and clients.
