Cencoic is the interface between coffee growers of the autonomous Nasa indigenous communities of Cauca and the modern global economy. One of their main purposes is to elevate the negotiating position of indigenous coffee farmers from fragmented smallholders with little bargaining power in commercial supply chains dominated by massive trading entities. Working in collaboration as a unified force, they are able to collectively channel a consolidated, desirable supply with a known commercial value to the market, standing toe to toe with powerful industry players if order to negotiate favorable conditions, resulting in higher prices for producers than those available on the commodity market.
