Abstract
Objective. Traditionally processed Coffee (Coffea
arabica) of the Caturra and Colombia varieties from
19 farms from Chachagüí (Nariño, Colombia), was
characterized. Materials and methods. The farms
were selected and the cherry coffee was subjected
to a traditional humid process. Then, three samples
/farm of dried parchment coffee were collected to
perform the analysis and the variables evaluated
were mutually correlated, in order to establish the
relationship degrees among them. Results. All of
the farms met the criteria of humidity, peeled grain,
strange matter and “guayaba” and “media cara”
established by Federación Nacional de Cafeteros for
dried parchment coffee, and for green coffee beans
the only farms that had CBB and coffee defects percentages
above the standards allowed were F3 (2.6
% and 9.5 %) and F1 (6.0 % defects); concerning
the performance in the processing, the best values
were those of F7 (85.5 Kg), F5 (86.6 Kg), F12 (86.8
Kg) and F14 (86.9 Kg), and the 19 farms had more
than 75 % of sound green beans of coffee. The best
percentage was that of F7, with 81.3 %, followed by
F14, F5, F10, F12, F8, F18 and F11, with percentages
between 80.6 and 80.0%, and the farms with the
lowest values were F1 and F3, with 76.6 and 75.6%,
