CEPICAFE, Piura, Peru, celebrates its 10th Anniversary
Plant construction begins at CEPICAFE
“After 2 years, 8 months and 9 days of bureaucratic procedures, as well as having climbed 103 times to the 9th floor of the Piuran Municipal Building (without an elevator), we have received the CONSTRUCTION LICENSE FOR THE DRY MILL.”
The mill will be used to sort and process coffee as well as to homogenize and pack sugar and process fresh fruits and jams. Owning their own mill will enable CEPICAFE to have more control over the quality of the coffee beans in the last step of processing before it is exported out of Peru. It will also help them to lower their costs of production, increase their income by allowing them to offer third party services, and provide many jobs to members of the surrounding communities.
