Today, Panama is known for their high-end coffees including the renown Gesha variety. However, not all coffee producers can thrive due to a lack of financial support and access to infrastructure. This is where Cuatro Caminos step in. Founded in 2014, Cuatro Caminos is an organization which operates in Boquete, West Panama, currently with 45 coffee farmers. It uses a micro-funding model to support its long-term mission, which is to revitalize underperforming farms and to transform them into artisan specialty coffee producers.

A core mission of Cuatro Caminos is to make Boquete’s coffee industry sustainable. Beyond ensuring economic viability, the organization prioritizes environmental and social responsibility. It reserves up to 20% of net profits from farming operations - shared with investors - to fund infrastructure improvements such as electricity, running water, and gas. Additionally, Cuatro Caminos enhances working conditions by providing modern equipment, clothing, and other daily essentials to improve the lives of coffee farmers. The organization also goes beyond government-provided social services, seeking out remote farmers with strong coffee potential and leading them to success. Cuatro Caminos is a blend of skills, capital, human resources, and expertise, all dedicated to enhancing the quality of the final product. This commitment has helped propel Panama’s coffee industry onto the global stage.
