Mellow - Producer Info Francy

Francy Castillo oversees the Berruecos Project, which consolidates parchment from small producers at her collection point, giving remote producers access to the specialty coffee market and enabling them to earn premium prices.

The project focuses on supporting coffee producers in Arboleda Berruecos and San Lorenzo, Nariño, by visiting their farms to assess community needs, providing technical assistance on specialty coffee practices, and offering tools and resources for daily fieldwork.

The aim is to promote the sustainable development of the coffee industry, enhancing quality, environmental preservation, inclusion, and competitiveness to benefit producers, youth, and women in the community.
