„COCLA, The Association of Agrarian Coffee Cooperatives of Cuzco, is our principal trading partner in Peru, serving over 4,500 small-scale farmers in the Andean mountains near the ancient Incan ruin of Machu Picchu. Originally formed in 1967, the cooperative has since become the principal economic institution in the area, warehousing and marketing nearly three-quarters of the coffee and cocoa grown by surrounding communities.“

Global Exchange : Coffee Cooperatives
„Whereas a small farmer in Peru has no access to credit (and thus may be forced into debt to local moneylenders), COCLA's members have access to credit at 12-13%. Farmers use this money to increase plantings of shade trees and coffee trees, invest in tarps and equipment that improve quality, and pay for transporting their coffee to the coop's warehouse. Ninety eight percent of all loans are paid on time, testifying to their efficacy and their member's gratitude.“
