Las Pirias is a village in the Chirinos district in Cajamarca. Producers in the area grow coffee between 1750 and 1900masl and the main varieties grown are caturra, bourbon and catimor. Coffee is generally picked and processed the same day, before being fermented for 24-36 hours, with some producers extending that to 48 hours, and is then washed and dried for around two weeks on raised beds. There are a number of villages across Chirinos which have ideal growing conditions for coffee, with altitudes above 1700masl, and many producers still have old pure Arabica varieties. We see huge potential for quality improvement in Chirinos, with small changes and investments producers can escape low market prices which rarely cover the cost of production and find a market for their coffee that pays well above the market with quality incentives.
