Planta procesadora de café como proyecto de formación y oportunidad en cafeteros de Iquira – Huila.

Abstract

The municipality of Iquira currently has a high percentage of coffee farms that are located in the northern and western part of the urban area. Currently, around 1,300 coffee farms have been identified, which have generated one of the best coffees collected by companies and experts in the field. During the year there are two types of coffee harvest thanks to its favorable climate. The months of March, April, May and June are called harvest, since they are the months in which the coffee plants give more production. On the contrary, the coffee harvest that occurs in the months of November and December is called naughty, since its production is lower. During these months of the year the following types of coffees are harvested; Caturra, Castillo, Tambo and Colombia. This type of seeds are those that are collected, processed and sold to the external society of the municipality. One of the problems that the municipality of Iquira has is the loss of money in its coffee harvest. That is to say; Coffee producers do not have the opportunity to sell their coffee at a fair price due to the lack of equipment or a plant that performs the respective processes that this product requires for its sale and consumption. Coffee has a number of processes that are made edible in different ways. Its derivatives and flavors make this element used in different foods or beverages. In 2018, Iquira was internationally named as one of the best municipalities at the departmental level as the best coffee picker. Due to its physique and taste, it ranks 3rd among 1000 coffee farms. Coffee by nature requires processes such as parchment, threshing, roasting and grinding. In the municipality of Iquira, only the parchment is made, which is based only on the separation of the seed and the peel plus drying. Accordingly, there are 3 processes that are not carried out in the municipality, which makes the coffee lose value. Keywords: Geodynamics, Architecture, Industrial production, Coffee
