Being a small coffee farmer means being disciplined, empowered, and committed to their families and the community. It's working tirelessly to produce high-quality coffee to secure a better income for their families. They are individuals of determination, entrepreneurship, and resilience. They hold immense pride in their role as coffee farmers, striving to preserve their parents' legacy and motivating the youth to continue the journey.
In Colombia, the average small coffee farmer is around 59 years old, tending to a modest 4-hectare farm that typically produces about 2,000 kilos of coffee per harvest. This scenario is emblematic of the majority of the 550,000 small producer families in Colombia, and certainly, echoes the experiences of similar farmers worldwide.
For most, a primary harvest occurs once a year, occasionally supplemented by smaller "pepeos" throughout the remaining months. As a result, coffee constitutes their primary source of annual income, with a net profit averaging USD$1,950, equivalent to approximately USD$162 per month.
