History
“I always planned to participate in this competition,” explained
Pedro Castro, a first generation coffee grower in the Chijchipani area
of Caranavi. “We competed in 2005 but did not win, so I wanted to better
this year.”
Pedro plans to use earnings from this year’s auction to increase
production but also for his son’s education.
