ANEI Harvest Progress: Week 47 Insights You Can't Miss!

From the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and the Serranía del Perijá, coffee-producing communities continue to demonstrate why this region is recognized as an exceptional origin for specialty coffee. Despite this season's climatic challenges, the progress of the 2025-2026 harvest reflects the resilience, ancestral knowledge, and commitment of hundreds of families who cultivate coffee using agroecological practices and with a deep respect for nature.

Climate and Teamwork

The heavy rains typical of this time of year have been a challenge for communities in both regions. Coffee growers have had to adapt to harvest and transport their coffee under more complex conditions.

However, the response has been resounding collective work, organization, and support among families to ensure the harvest progresses without compromising quality or traceability.

Transportation and Access: Overcoming Barriers with Determination

Rain has affected communication routes, damaged secondary roads and hindering transport to collection centers. Even so, producers continue to deliver coffee in optimal condition, even when this means walking long distances or using mules on narrow paths.

This level of commitment is the foundation of ANEI's sustainable intercultural model, which prioritizes quality, traceability, and respect for the land.

Progress by area

In the Sierra Nevada and the Serranía del Perijá, the harvest is progressing at different paces but with positive results. In the Sierra Nevada, the lowlands are nearing the end of the harvest, while in the highlands, the process continues at a good pace, despite the constant rains that make it difficult to travel within the farms. Although some warm areas showed accelerated ripening and smaller beans, others maintained a more balanced development, allowing for a projected volume of stable volume compared to the previous year, with an estimated progress of between 40% and 50%.

In the Serranía del Perijá region, a notable increase in coffee volume and an improvement in the physical and sensory quality of the beans are evident. Despite the challenges of winter, producers have optimized logistics by transporting the coffee on muleback and adjusting their schedules to guarantee traceability and maintain quality in every delivery.

A commitment that translates into quality for the world.

Every load harvested, every journey made, and every process carried out with discipline demonstrates that ANEI coffee is much more than a product: it is a collective effort that protects nature, strengthens the family economy, and keeps alive a tradition that unites cultures and generations.
