Coffee in Colombia
The coffee growers*
o Coffee is grown by 577,961 producers that cover 3.13 million
hectares of land, of which 972,018 ha are planted with coffee.
o Average coffee producer cultivates 1.68 ha of coffee and owns
another 3.73 ha for other purposes.
o April ‘13 – March ‘14: production of 11.4 million bags, of which
10.4 million were exported.
o 27% of producers are women.
o 28% of producers linked to some protocol of sustainability.

The coffee organisation
Vision
Consolidate the productive and social development of
the coffee family, ensuring the sustainability of coffee

Some Indicators
Deforestation and loss of Environmental Services:
• Continues in Colombia, but the rate has diminished. What
has incremented is natural forest degradation.
• The causes of deforestation in Colombia are animal
husbandry, some cash-crops and agroindustry, illicit crops,
large-scale projects of infrastructure, mining (V National
Report to CBD, March 2014).
• There is no evidence that land is cleared to expand the
area of coffee cultivation.

Important to make clear that the fact of less shade-grown coffee does
not imply a loss of biodiversity. BD is not managed at the level of a
coffee plantation or at the farm, but on a larger scale: the microwatershed, an ecosystem, a region.
In the northern coffee growing regions there is traditionally more
shade than the centre of the country. 97% of the coffee grown in the
indigenous territories of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta is shadegrown.

Environmental Program (projects KfW, GEF)
FNC promotes the incorporation of biodiversity as an
element of development and sustainability
INTEGRATED APPROACH (central element: H2O)
 Incentives & Investments that stimulate good practices of managing
the landscape (in a changing climate), while at the same time
maintaining / improving net income:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Landscape Management Tools
Improved infrastructure
Good Agricultural Practices (GAP)
Certification of coffee farms
Payment for Environmental Services (carbon, H2O)
Value chain of non-wood forest products (NWFP)
Property tax exemption
Food security and nutrition
 Technical assistance (participatory methods)
 Sensitization / Education / Training

Landscape Management Tools
Five steps of activities to implement the LMT and integrate these in
good agricultural practices system:
Step 1: Baseline, with basic information about the state of: a)
biodiversity in the watershed; b) performance of the farms, and c)
knowledge and perceptions of farmers towards biodiversity and
conservation.
Step 2: Participatory planning for the construction of the corridor
(which LMT and where).
Step 3: Education program with main activities: a) training plan,
and b) training workshops with researchers (monitoring).
Step 4: Integrated system of GAP (waste management, water
treatment, use of agrochemicals).
Step 5: Evaluation of project results / impacts in the watershed
(comparison against baseline).

Results

•
•
Propagation and planting of more than 30 plant species in threatened
category.
New species detected or species detected again.
Actions are being scaled-up and coverage is now in 11 of the 22 coffee
producing departments.
Revenue from biodiversity-friendly coffee cultivation, by certified or noncertified products and/or payment for ecosystem services (PES)
increased 8% at the coffee farms participating in the project during its
implementation in 2011, 2012 and 2013.
Specifically, income certification / verification increased by 12% the net
income of coffee, PES/Carbon revenues by 9%, income from property
tax exemption by 7%, revenue by PES/Water 13%, and revenue from
value chain by 5%.
Diversification / new sources of income.
