Fincas Los Naranjos cultivates high-value coffee varieties with highly appreciated cup qualities. They are committed to providing the best care to achieve a balance between harvest and vegetative management. A coffee tree can have a prolonged productive life with an appropriate tissue renewal plan. Pruning is crucial, enabling constant tissue regeneration to keep the plant active and productive. The company aims to reduce biennial bearing and treat each plant as a productive unit. Various pruning types are implemented based on technical criteria: previous year’s production, plantation age, variety, terrain topography, and vegetative development. Pruning practices such as topping, cutting back, skirting, hedge trimming, and thinning are used individually or in combination, depending on each plant’s needs.

Since its founding, Fincas Los Naranjos has committed to minimising environmental and ecosystem impact, which is why herbicides are not used for weed control. Instead, weeds are managed manually, resulting in numerous benefits
