CCCU was established in 2006. We unite small, scattered, and poor growers in primary coffee cooperatives to work together for fair prices for their products. 

We work to strengthen the capacity of primary and district coffee cooperatives and farmers on production technologies, quality control, processing, and marketing.

We grow delicious Arabica coffee above 800m ASL in the mountains of Nepal. We use only organic practices, with appropriate shade, manure and irrigation.

Our Nepali Arabica is mostly produced by independent women farmers with their own land in cooperatives. It has flavours of nut, fruit, and chocolate with a long, sweet aftertaste, cupping at 80+.

We are a team of hard working, caring and passionate professionals who lead with honesty and friendly service. Commitment is our value for success.

We believe coffee is the most valuable agricultural commodity to increase the income of small farmers in rural Nepal. Our vision is to improve and sustain the income and wellbeing of our coffee farmers and their households, and to help break the poverty cycle through integrated coffee promotion.

We train our farmers in good agricultural practices (GAP) including organic farming, coffee growing and integrated production.

We provide quality inputs to our farmers such as coffee seedlings, organic fertiliser, farming tools, pulpers, wood for raised beds, and sacks.

Farmers are also given shade trees: fruit trees, fodder trees, and fast-growing multipurpose trees. Fruit trees include banana, avocado, orange, jackfruit, and lychee. These fruits can be eaten for improved nutrition, and sold, providing another income source.

The fodder trees are used to feed small livestock such as goats and chickens, and for compost. These animals in turn provide manure for the coffee plants. This way we achieve integrated farming.

CCCU gives our farmers technical support in the form of production, processing, and marketing, as well as garden management. We do this through training and demonstrations. We also support inspections and technical guidance for organic certification and provide inputs such as seedlings and tools.
