Much of that potential is lost among unassociated smallholders who lack the infrastructure to dry and process consistently. Falcon Peru SARL, established in 2018, works directly with producers around Jaén — hand-pulping, fermenting and drying on patios or raised beds, then delivering parchment to a dedicated warehouse for grading, moisture testing and cupping. Farmers get an immediate quality analysis, a cup score and an offer price, all under Falcon's Blueprint Project for economic transparency.
