Coffee production and quality assessment in Acre, Brazil, are seeing increased activity through both competitive evaluation and cooperative expansion.

The 4th edition of the Acre Coffee Quality Competition (QualiCafé) has moved into a technical sensory evaluation phase in Rio Branco. This stage involves 55 producers from 12 municipalities, with certified Q Graders assessing attributes such as aroma, acidity, and flavor to rank the region’s coffee.

Simultaneously, the Coopercafé cooperative is expanding its operations in the region.
