14 Name of Investment Central Agropecuaria Perla del Mayo (CAPEMA) Sector/Country Coffee / Peru Alto Mayo Region Amount Conservation/Social Impact 150,000 USD CAPEMA represents 150 coffee producers from 6 communities in the Alto Mayo Protection Forest buffer zone. After cattle, coffee production is one of the main agricultural activities that represent a risk for conservation in the Alto Mayo watershed. Certification programs demand an improvement on agricultural practices such as soil erosion prevention, prohibition on agrochemicals use, agroforestry systems establishment and waste water management. Fair Trade certification also assures a minimum price and demands that the organization maintain an annual premium (US$10/coffee bag) for AGM agreed social investments. Associates families depend on coffee production and commercialization through CAPEMA as one of the bigger incomes during the year. They also produce some other crops for their own food security. Sample VV Deals CAPEMA
