For the past several years, Programa Mujer Cafetera Asociación De Productores Agrícolas De Timaná (ASPROTIMANA, a highly selective cooperative in southern Huila) has been working directly with women producers to establish coffee production from farms owned and managed by women.
With the support of Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje (SENA), 53 women have emerged with the skills to process specialty coffee using their own micro-mills.
After processing, ASPROTIMANA works with an export company called San Miguel, a family-owned company based in Huila that focuses on bringing traceable micro-lots to the international market.
The partnership ensures traceability and quality control throughout the post-harvest process and a mutual goal to improve the quality of life for coffee producers and their families through internationally marketing women's coffee to gain improved premiums, wider market, and vice versa.
