To meetCayao Segundo

A few words about Cayao Segundo

Segundo Feliz Cayao lives in the Palma Central region, in the province of Jaen. Seguno is 53 years old, he joined the Coopagro cooperative in 2019 like his brothers, who are also coffee producers. Segundo has 3 daughters and has been producing coffee for 15 years. Since childhood, he has known how to plow the land, plant and cultivate. He worked in other plantations, he built roads, in short he did a little bit of all trades until he saved enough to buy a farm. Seeing his brother producing and promoting his coffee plantation, selling his coffee directly to Jaen, he wanted to get started. The beginnings were rather timid, because beyond the culture, he had to learn to prepare coffee, reduce defects, fight against humidity... Its partnership with Coopagro is led by the improvement of its knowledge to increase the quality of its production. Coopagro provides him technical support on agricultural practices, fermentation, washing and drying processes, etc. This aid quickly bore fruit and enabled him to increase his income. When he sold his coffee in parchments between 300 and 350 soles per quintal, he now gets 100 more soles per quintal. His coffee is not exactly the same, from 80 to 82 points initially, it is rated today 85+. This giant leap makes him so proud! He has invested in new solar greenhouses to dry his coffee, again and again with the same goal of improving the quality for his ultimate goal: to participate in the cup of excellence and why not one day, to win it!
