Grower Profile
Gustavo is the son of a coffee grower and is in the process of family succession since 2011, the year he graduated in Agronomy, and began to follow in the footsteps of his father, Lázaro Ribeiro. Gustavo believes that one of the main challenges of coffee cultivation is the question of manpower (quantity and quality), but he does not discourage and continues to believe and improve the post-harvest processes, respecting the intrinsic characteristics of each variety.
