Promoting development through direct & fair trade practices
Fair partnerships
Act fairly - for people and nature
ALTOMAYO relies on fair trade practices with the numerous organic coffee producing families in Peru.
Without middlemen, we guarantee fair wages that are independent of fluctuating world market prices. Through long-term partnerships, we not only promote the improvement of the living and working conditions of the producers but also actively contribute to environmental protection.
Sustainability and social responsibility are at the heart of our actions to create a better future for people and nature.
Together we make the world a fairer place with every cup - sip by sip.
Fair partnerships as a solution
Facing global challenges together
Fair partnerships as a solution
The global coffee trade is characterized by inequalities:
While coffee is one of the most traded goods in the world, many organic producer families live in the growing areas of the producing countries.
ALTOMAYO addresses these challenges with equitable trade practices to enable fair participation in global trade. We strengthen the position of organic coffee producing families, create planning security through stable incomes, and promote sustainable cultivation methods to protect biodiversity in the growing regions.
Through education and conscious consumer decisions, we can together contribute to social justice and offer small-scale coffee producing families a future perspective -
Your daily coffee can change lives.
Transparency instead of seals
Fair & long-term cooperation through direct relationships
Transparency instead of seals
Instead of relying on external certifications, we rely on fair, long-term partnerships and transparent communication with our organic producer families in Peru. This collaboration allows us to personally monitor conditions on-site and guarantee fair standards. Regular visits and intensive, open dialogue create transparency that goes beyond mere certifications.
In this way, we ensure that producers benefit from fair working conditions and that our organic coffee specialties meet the highest standards of quality and sustainability.
Fair remuneration & purchase guarantees
The difference lies in fair trade practices
Fair remuneration & purchase guarantees
ALTOMAYO guarantees organic coffee producing families a stable minimum price, regardless of fluctuations in the global market.
This not only secures their existence but also enables investments in education, health and infrastructure.
With a purchase guarantee and pre-financing of the harvest, we give producers planning security. This allows them to focus on sustainable, high-quality cultivation while simultaneously benefiting from our partnership in the long term.
Sustainability begins with fair trade.
Professional & technical support
Promoting organic farming through agrotechnical knowledge transfer
Professional & technical support
At ALTOMAYO, we support our partners in Peru not only financially through fair trade practices, but also with technical and professional knowledge through regular exchanges with agricultural engineers.
Training in sustainable farming methods and quality management helps coffee producers increase their yields and quality while protecting the unique environment. We also promote the adoption of modern farming techniques that reduce resource consumption and maintain long-term soil fertility.
This support strengthens small-scale organic family farms and contributes to the preservation of biodiversity in the Peruvian highlands.
