Julian and Oscar Palomino farm 10 hectares in Totoro, Cauca, where they grow mostly Castillo. This coffee is part of the Farm Select program with Banexport in Colombia. This initiative aims to support producers with the tools they need to improve their coffee quality, gain access to better prices, and make lasting connections with committed specialty buyers. Through its Farm Select program standards and protocols, Banexport identifies producers who are willing to utilize advanced techniques and technology to produce a better cup; provides them with education and support toward that end; and, through a close and collaborative partnership with Cafe Imports, connects them with buyers who are interested in developing mutually beneficial, long-term and reliable buying relationships.
