system of valuation and determination of domestic price of coffee.

With the new assessment tool, the farmer will not have to worry about the well-known performance factor (amount of parchment needed to get a sack of 70 kilos of coffee sublime) as the assessment was changed to healthy almond, allowing that the more you take high-quality coffee to the cooperative, the higher the price they receive for it.
