Peru is a small producer of coffee. The coffee farmers are mostly organized into cooperatives that usually produce organic coffee. However, the unstable political situation and a high rate of inflation make it hard to increase coffee production in a structured way. Even now, 98% of all coffee trees are in hard-to-reach forest areas. While the trees may be completely harvested, they cannot be cultivated for the purpose of improving profits. The quality of Peruvian coffee is comparable to that of Central American countries such as Ecuador, its neighbor to the north. The best varieties come from Chancahamayo, Cuzco, Ayacucho, and Urubamba. The highest quality rating is AAA. The good coffees can be round with a voluptuous sweetness.
