  On July 11, 1985 the Cooperativa de Cafeicultores e Agropecuaristas (COCAPEC) was founded. COCAPEC began with almost 300 members in its first year of operations, and today it has grown to over 2,000 members. COCAPEC is renowned in this coffee-growing region for its technical support and natural drying methods. The cooperative’s technical department works in partnership with its members to guarantee consistent coffee quality. Currently, the high Mogiana region has an average annual production of more than one million bags of coffee, of which 85% is high quality beans produced at an optimal altitude and temperature.
  

Probably beginning around the mid nineteenth century when coffee became very popular, they were not roasted nearly as darkly as they are today. Why?

• Darker roasted coffees have less caffeine than lighter roasts and the delivery of that drug was, and still is, the primary reason the agricultural based economy consumed coffee.
• Coffees were bought as an unroasted dry good initially...people were not inclined to "burn" their food.
• As coffee roasts longer, it loses mass. Therefore, lighter roasts could be stretched farther.
