Virtual Visit Overview
The Comité de Cafeteros del Cauca, or Cauca Committee of Coffee Growers, is the Cauca arm of the FNC, the Colombian Coffee Growers’ Federation. The FNC, and by default it’s Cauca subsidiary, is a private, not-for-profit trade organization. The importance of the FNC in making Colombian coffee what is it today, and what it has been for a couple of generations, cannot be understated. A hallmark feature of this institutional infrastructure and market linkage is the purchase guarantee. This service is often taken for granted in Colombia, but it is the quintessential economic safety net for all Colombian coffee producers and the envy of growers across the globe and guarantees an outlet for any quantity of coffee at a price representing a generous share of the commercial export value.
