Producer Support Center (CAP)
Our Cooperative has a series of engineers and agricultural experts that work in the Producer Support Center (CAP), a department whose main task is to provide all the support to coffee producers.
From here we encourage good practices on the land through technical advice after developing processes that allow constant improvement and increased productivity in coffee plantations.
Another of the pillars of its function is to carry out visits and training of producers to comply with the requirements of the certifications that support our crops.

Working Capital Loan
This loan is aimed at meeting the need for resources to guarantee proper assistance and preparation of the farm for the next harvest. The purpose of these resources is to maintain or increase productivity, as well as to attend to pests and diseases. In order to define the amounts of credit, coffee deliveries during each harvest are taken as a reference.
- Short-term credit
Credit for renovation or planting of coffee plantations
- Long-term credit
This credit is aimed at the planting of new coffee plantations, as well as the total or partial renovation of a farm and the repopulation of already established coffee plantations. Its purpose is to mitigate the risk of low productivity as a result of the aging of the crops and allows the inclusion of new varietal lines that are resistant and tolerant to climatic changes.
Credit for long-term financing
- Long-term credit
The resources of this credit must be invested in the purchase of land, machinery and agricultural equipment, work vehicles, payment of liabilities and any other aspect that is of interest to the Cooperative and the socioeconomic development of the members, associates and their families.
