Crafting a Legacy in Caicedo

Under the pioneering leadership of Elkin Diosa, APROKAFES transformed from a local initiative into a beacon of specialty coffee production. Elkin’s journey began with a deep curiosity and a passion for coffee, which led him to develop a new business model that would harness the collective strength of Caicedo’s small coffee producers. In 2014, APROKAFES was formally incorporated, setting forth on its mission to enhance living standards and implement good agricultural practices throughout the community.

Innovative Approaches

for Exceptional Quality

At the core of APROKAFES is a commitment to excellence, facilitated through Elkin’s establishment of a specialty coffee buying center. This center features advanced quality control facilities and a storage environment that maintains the highest standards of coffee preservation. Here, every bean is nurtured to perfection, embodying the lush flavors that specialty coffee drinkers cherish.

A product of passion and community

Elkin's vision extends beyond coffee production. APROKAFES is devoted to fostering the next generation of coffee professionals by providing education on coffee tree nutrition and hosting training programs. These initiatives offer youth engaging career opportunities in the coffee industry, ensuring the sustainability of coffee culture in Caicedo.

The collaboration with international coffee exporters marked a significant milestone for APROKAFES, bringing commercial stability and joy to the producers. This partnership not only recognizes their hard work but also celebrates their contribution to Colombia’s coffee legacy.

The continuous experimentation and adaptation in their processes allow APROKAFES to meet the sophisticated palates of international buyers, offering a product line that is as diverse as it is rich.
