Copacabana is a community of 35 families in the province of Caranavi, the largest coffee producing region in Bolivia.
The main structure in the town square reads “Province of Caranavi: Bolivian Coffee Capital,” and there are coffee shops everywhere. There are also frequent coffee events and competitions. People are proud of being coffee farmers and they are very competitive about who has the best coffee. A new, younger generation is getting involved, and the outlook for Bolivian coffee production is promising. Some older producers have handed their farms over to the next generation, and many producers are in their 30’s and early 40s. Farm sizes vary, but on average producers have 2 - 3 hectares. Producers are well-versed in traditional coffee farming practices, and everyone knows how to produce a good washed coffee. Today, most everyone has a smartphone, giving producers direct access to the latest trends in the industry. There is more experimenting with natural and alternative processing methods as producers can access endless information on the internet.
