CALMOS
COOP Caldas
Founded in 1960, the Caldas cooperative is a pillar of Colombian coffee culture. Bringing together more than 3,600 partner producers, most of whom are small family farms, the cooperative operates in eleven municipalities located in Manzanares and Marquetalia. These regions are renowned for their ideal coffee-growing conditions, with altitudes ranging from 1,600 to 1,950 meters above sea level and average temperatures between 9 °C. et 26 °C.
The Caldas cooperative, located in the historic Coffee Triangle region of Colombia, brings together more than 41,000 small farms, including around 13,000 specializing in specialty coffee. With 15 sales points and support centers for producers, it provides essential agricultural assistance and promotes sustainable practices to ensure high-quality coffee. Despite Huila’s rise as the top producer by volume, Caldas remains a key player in specialty coffee.
