Dipilto

The municipality of Dipilto, located in Nueva Segovia’s department in northern of Nicaragua, is a mountainous region characterized by its irregular topography, with elevations reaching up to 1,700 meters above sea level. This geography provides it with a cool, humid climate, ideal for the development of ecosystems rich in biodiversity. 

Dipilto's local economy is based primarily on three fundamental pillars: agriculture, commerce, and, to a lesser extent, rural tourism. Within agriculture, coffee cultivation represents the municipality's most important economic driver, both in terms of production volume and its social and environmental impact. The coffee grown in Dipilto has been recognized on numerous occasions in international competitions such as the Cup of Excellence, placing the municipality on the world map of specialty coffees. In fact, it is estimated that more than 80% of Dipilto's rural families depend directly or indirectly on coffee, either as producers, harvesters, processors, or traders. Statistically, Dipilto produces approximately 80,000 to 100,000 quintals of green coffee per production cycle, with a high percentage coming from small and medium – sized farms integrated into cooperatives or fair trade networks. This volume represents a significant portion of coffee production in Nueva Segovia, a department that supplies approximately 25% of the national coffee.  

Coffee, more than just a crop, represents a central pillar of local development, combining economy, identity, sustainability, and international prestige. Thanks to its natural conditions and the commitment of its producers, Dipilto continues to consolidate itself as one of the most recognized and promising coffee – growing regions in Nicaragua.  

The Dipilto - Jalapa mountain range, located in northern of Nicaragua, is one of the most emblematic coffee-growing regions in the country. This mountain range is the oldest geological formation in Nicaragua and is home to Mount Mogotón, the highest point in the country at 2,106 meters above sea level. This mountainous area, part of the Nueva Segovia department, is notable for its altitude, temperate climate, and fertile soils, ideal conditions for growing specialty coffees.
