One of the productive bets of the department of Huila is the cultivation of coffee, mainly specialty coffees, which over time have been increasing their productive activity, achieving a great position in the market. It should be noted that specialty coffees have certain attributes which they must have to be creditors of certifications by different entities. The project aims to assess the effectiveness of the Rainforest Alliance, FLO, UTZ and Organic certification in terms of the good socioeconomic impacts generated in a representative sample of certified and non-certified coffee farms in the municipality of Pitalito - Huila.
