Café Selva, Coffee, Peru

Café Selva Norte SAC (CSN) is a Peruvian specialty coffee company established in 2018 as a joint venture between four local coffee cooperatives and Urapi, a Canadian impact fund. CSN focuses on sourcing, processing, and exporting high-quality arabica coffee to buyers in North America and Europe. Beyond trading, CSN actively supports its smallholder suppliers by offering affordable agricultural inputs and extension services to promote agroforestry practices, which enhance productivity and climate resilience. 

These practices also generate carbon credits, providing smallholders with additional income and fostering long-term supplier loyalty. CSN operates a state-of the-art dry mill, launched in 2021, and plays a central role in supporting farm level transformation. To support CSN’s growing operations and strengthen its supply chain, the Common Fund for Commodities (CFC) provides USD 1 million in harvest capital. The financing is structured as a tri-partite trade finance facility and is used to purchase coffee from smallholder farmers. The investment enables CSN to maintain steady procurement during harvest seasons, ensuring timely payments to producers and reinforcing its commitment to inclusive, climate-smart value chains.
