About 50 coffee farmers now form the cooperative
CACI SATINAKI .

In 1969, as part of the land reform, the virgin forest in the area around Miguel Grau was given to farmers. It was cleared with axes and machetes and the land was made arable.
The first cooperative, “La Florida,” was founded, the village square was built by Miguel Grau. The first school was built, and the first cemetery was created.

From 1990 to 1994, the "Shining Path" ruled the country. This communist guerrilla organization also threatened the finca owners, and a large number of residents had to flee in 1992. When the danger was over, the people found their village devastated. It took over two years to set up the cooperative, and by 2010 it had grown to 50 cafetaleros.

Excellent coffee grows in the remote region of Canchamayo, but the people still lead a very modest life. The coffee farmers controlled the cultivation, but had coffee from different altitudes with many varieties and qualities both from the harvest and from the processing.

Due to overproduction, a collapse in prices on the coffee market and, most recently, a disease, coffee rust, which affected up to 30% of coffee plants, a large number of coffee farmers were open to the new perspectives we opened up for them.
