Jhonny Corina has owned his 8-hectare farm since 2015. There, he maintains over 16,000 trees, including Gesha, Castillo, and Java varieties alongside citrus trees, plantains, and other native plants. The farm is located in the La Asunta municipality in a tropical region with a humid climate and abundant rainfall, making it ideal growing conditions for coffee. The soil is rich in nutrients due to their cultivation system, which involves intercropping with forest trees mainly in the legume family.
The area is primarily known for coca cultivation, but it also has significant coffee production. It has been a challenge to promote coffee as a productive alternative to coca and demonstrate its potential in the region. In recent years, though, there has been more high-quality coffee production from the area.
Together with other coffee producers in the region, they created the Federation (FEPIAC) to collect their coffee production. This allows them to gather larger quantities of coffee and seek buyers interested in purchasing the entire product. Thanks to this organization, they have improved their marketing, gained more sales opportunities, and obtained better prices, in addition to strengthening their collaborative work as producers.
Coffee from his farm is picked by hand and dried in the sun. He uses both Washed and Natural processing on his farm. Looking to the future, Jhonny aims to expand his coffee production and improve his post-harvest processing and environment.
