Rolando Benavidez Garro

Rolando Benavidez Garro is a farmer with only a few years of coffee production behind him, starting in 2019.

This brings its own challenges but also freedoms, and so the farm has new varietals on it as well as a fresh approach to processing.

Much of the Costa Rica coffee industry is centralising in the Tarrazu region, but the Cerro Chirripo National Park stretches up to 3820 masl and provides ample folds in the slopes to take advantage of the Pacific or Caribbean weather fronts.

COOPEAGRI was established in 1962

Created by 391 small-scale farmers with the aim of building and sustaining a strong and supportive farmer organisation.

This was in part to improve living standards amongst the community but also provide development opportunities to their communities. They rented the San Jorge Mill to process their coffee.1969 saw them open a supermarket to serve their community and provide income diversity to the farmers. 5 years later, they further diversified by opening the first Sugar Mill in the southern part of Costa Rica.
