The Government works to solve the problems of the country’s coffee sector

The Minister of Agrarian Development and Irrigation, Jennifer Contreras, stated that the Government will implement a plan to be able to export coffee from small producers, without any restrictions, to the markets of the European Union (EU).

“We are going to implement a plan that is adapted so that our coffee growing brothers can sell their coffee, without any restrictions in the EU , because we are not going to allow their products (coffee) not to enter that market and if we have to adapt any regulatory framework “We will do it because the Government works to solve their problems,” he said.
In his speech during his presentation at the VII International Specialty Coffee Fair – Ficafé Puno 2023 , Contreras stated that the Government, through Midagri , is working on various actions to address the problems of the coffee sector. 
“I have arranged for the National Agrarian Health Service ( Senasa ) to go to the countryside to combat yellow rust. I have also asked Agrobanco  to expedite its procedures for approving loans to coffee growers,” he stated.
He also highlighted coffee as a flagship product and a crop that represents the livelihood of more than 200,000 farmers. “We are going to help our coffee open more international markets and conquer with its special aroma,” said Contreras.
