Finca Juan Martin is a forward-thinking and experimental coffee farm managed by Banexport. The project is dedicated to cultivating, harvesting, and processing multiple coffee varieties to refine each step toward achieving optimum quality. In addition, Juan Martin functions as a mentor and model for coffee producers who sell and export their beans through Banexport. The farm is located in the highest part of Sotara, only 30 minutes from Popayan, the capital of Cauca. It remains committed to adopting environmentally sustainable methods and providing employment opportunities coupled with educational benefits for local community members.
 

At Juan Martín Farm, several upkeep activities are performed. Soil conservation is a priority due to the farm's steep terrain, and natural undergrowth is maintained to minimize erosion. Coffee crops are regularly examined to detect and remove pests or diseases. Moreover, the trees are cleaned every 75 days, and the areas between rows are cleared with a scythe every two months.

In summary, the coffee grown here follows a process of cultivation, harvesting, and processing that meets the highest standards of quality and organization. Practices are adjusted based on the ambient conditions and the specific needs of each variety, taking into account factors such as Brix level, moisture content, and the desired flavor profile in the cup.

An interesting additional facet is how projects like this one often pave the way for more sustainable farming techniques globally. Similar initiatives have inspired neighboring regions to innovate and adopt practices that balance productivity with environmental care, creating a ripple effect of positive change in the agricultural community.
