Central Fronteriza del Norte de Cafetaleros (CENFROCAFE) was founded in 1999 with 220 small-scale coffee farmers in 11 community-based organizations. Today CENFROCAFE serves 1,480 farmers. CENFROCAFE families own on average 3 hectares of land. They have an average yield for their organic production of about 1,500 kilograms a hectare. The region spans the lush hillsides of Jaen and San Ignacio provinces with growing altitudes ranging from 1,300 to 1,800 meters. Despite the hard work that has gone into coffee in this prime productive region, farmers continue to live under the most rudimentary conditions.

From technical assistance and quality control workshops for their farmers to economic and leadership training for the young people in their rural communities, CENFROCAFE works not only to support the commercial endeavors of its members but also to facilitate the development of the community. They provide loans that help farmers cover the costs of the harvest and materials in the coffee production as well as the costs of sending their children to school.
