Overview:
Hugo Luis Rojas was born the 30th of July of 1965 in the municipality of Inza - Cauca. He is a coffee dedicated person, working for 25 years in coffee, since he was little; coffee has being his passion and that makes his farm better, he is married to Elizabeth Oidor 20 years ago, considering he has a perfect and beautiful family, his 5 years old son; the people he loves the most in life and for whom he does all he does. His greater yearning is to fight for well-being of his family and to put them ahead, that specialty to his son´s good future. His dream is to continue working in his coffee land with effort and dedication to be able to offer to his son a good education, so he can go to the university; since his parents could not give that opportunity to him; in addition another of his great dreams since we he was little is to have a car to transport products from his farm and travel with his family around beautiful places. He has implemented in his land water system treatments for honey and residues from the coffee process, also the treatment to the workers at the farm, to have good solar dryers and a good administration, taking care of the nature, good living in a community, has offer him a way to well-being family. All of these aspects were implemented with time and this year thanks to God and with the help of his family he got the certification Rainforest Alliance, they visited his property giving a 94.08 score and could obtain this certification which in his consideration is great for the coffee quality they produce at the farm. Afterwards the quality has success, and could get to a high part of the Competition Cup of Excellence and today the reflection of the motivation of all the producers at the community is there and is maintaining the farmers in the quality path, working hard for the improvement of the quality coffee. Finally, I want to thank the Federation to give me the opportunity to participate in the Competition and give me the chance to know the city of Santa Marta and to travel by airplane since this was another of my life´s dreams, I am proud of being a coffee producer and representing my municipality of Inza; since it is one of the best places to grow specialty coffee in the world.
