Coagrobrisas is located in La Plata, Huila, in the central area of the department, and also operates a dedicated women’s program aimed at empowering women as coffee growers and strengthening their role within the coffee value chain. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCoagrobrisas provides training to its producer members, offers ongoing agronomic support, and most importantly delivers collective cupping and group purchasing services that allow producers to sell their coffee together and access better prices. The cooperative also operates drying facilities for producers who do not have adequate infrastructure to properly dry their coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe were lucky enough to travel to Colombia and visit the Colombian Coffee Growers Federation (FNC) in 2025, to see their community driven approach in person. They provide farmers with a guaranteed fair market buyer, fund sustainability research, and invest heavily in the social wellbeing of rural coffee communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the exporter, the Colombian Coffee Growers Federation (FNC) values the training efforts carried out by Coagrobrisas and works through a specific program to source coffee produced by women, paying a premium price. This premium is paid directly into the women producers’ bank accounts, with the objective of encouraging sound business management, financial autonomy, and the empowerment of women coffee growers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/b\u003e Colombia \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRegion:\u003c\/b\u003e Huila\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFarm\/Co-op:\u003c\/b\u003e Coagrobrisas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eProcessing:\u003c\/b\u003e Washed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/b\u003e 1700 - 2100m\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWomen producers: \u003c\/b\u003e33\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCoffee area: \u003c\/b\u003e– women coffee growers: 100 hectares\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnnual production:\u003c\/b\u003e 235,000 kg of parchment\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMain harvest:\u003c\/b\u003e May to July\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMid-crop (Mitaca):\u003c\/b\u003e October to December\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Liverpool Coffee Roasters Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Whole Bean \/ 250g","offer_id":56416655540610,"sku":"COL-LAP-250GB-WB","price":11.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Whole Bean \/ 1kg","offer_id":56416655573378,"sku":"COL-LAP-1KG-WB","price":33.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cafetiere \/ 250g","offer_id":56416655606146,"sku":"COL-LAP-250GB-WB","price":11.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chemex \/ 250g","offer_id":56416655638914,"sku":"COL-LAP-250GB-WB","price":11.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"V60 \/ 250g","offer_id":56416655671682,"sku":"COL-LAP-250GB-WB","price":11.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Clever Dripper \/ 250g","offer_id":56416655704450,"sku":"COL-LAP-250GB-WB","price":11.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Filter (Filter Brewers) \/ 250g","offer_id":56416655737218,"sku":"COL-LAP-250GB-WB","price":11.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Aeropress \/ 250g","offer_id":56416655769986,"sku":"COL-LAP-250GB-WB","price":11.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Moka Pot \/ 250g","offer_id":56416655802754,"sku":"COL-LAP-250GB-WB","price":11.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/6341\/2822\/files\/Col_la_plata_shop.jpg?v=1772191166","url":"https:\/\/www.beancoffee.co.uk\/products\/colombia-la-plata","provider":"Liverpool Coffee Roasters Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
