In the past, coffee was favored as a substitute for coca plants by many farmers. The government continues to look for ways to replace these illicit crops with coffee that will yield higher profits for the coffee industry. While this is a positive move, it can be a challenge to the local population, too.

Additionally it is crucial to encourage the development of innovative products that increase productivity and enhance the quality of coffee.
