Cacvi
Coffee producer in Peru
Cooperativa Agraria Cafetalera Valle de Incahuasi (CACVI), a speciality coffee producer based in the southern highlands of Peru, has received finance from Shared Interest since 2017. CACVI supports 514 members located across 14 districts within the remote regions of Ayacucho and Cusco.

InvestFarmers' Voice Radio and CACVI
Jhon, a member of CACVI, is participating in the Farmers' Voice Radio Academy.
Jhon said:
“I am a fourth-generation coffee farmer, living in the heart of Peruvian coffee production, and I understand the reality of the rural experience.
“That’s why I’m interested in the Farmers' Voice Radio Academy, with its sole purpose of delivering important messages on new coffee philosophies, agricultural production techniques, as well as health, nutrition, family planning, and other social and cultural issues […] The idea is to connect with producers, and radio is a suitable medium.”
Shared Interest and CACVI
As well as supporting the co-operative with access to timely, fair finance, our sister charity, Shared Interest Foundation, is working with CACVI coffee producers, delivering projects on the ground.
In 2024, the Foundation launched a project focused on building resilience among 58 young coffee producers through the production and export of dehydrated coffee pulp, and in increasing income while reducing environmental pollution. Implementation included technical workshops, entrepreneurship training and the installation of drying beds and quality control equipment. You can find out more about this project here.
