CoopeTarrazú hosted the Jornada de Café Regenerativo 2025, a two-day event that brought together coffee producers, academic representatives, and institutional partners to discuss the challenges and opportunities of regenerative coffee farming.
Experts presented talks and participated in forums on topics such as soil health, shade management, bioeconomy, commercialization, and new technologies applied to coffee production.
“Estamos muy satisfechos con la participación en este evento que busca acercar el quehacer de la Cooperativa con nuestros asociados y la comunidad. Logramos crear un espacio de encuentro para repensar juntos la forma en que cultivamos café,” said Jimmy Porras, Innovation and Sustainability Manager at CoopeTarrazú.
One panel focused on shade management. Dagoberto Arias, a forestry engineer, emphasized the importance of adopting a regenerative approach. “La condición de café regenerativo le va a dar mucha fortaleza al sector. A nivel mundial la competencia es muy fuerte, pero Costa Rica se ve ante el mundo como el país verde y esa es la ola que no podemos perder,” he said during his talk.
The event also included the renewal of a collaboration agreement with the Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica (TEC) and acknowledged support from the Universidad de Costa Rica (UCR) and Fundación CRUSA for their contributions to the event’s success.
