North Pioneer Region is considered the gateway for the colonization of the northern part of the state of Paraná. Established in 1890, new ways of economic development and progress came to this important Brazilian agricultural region. Many cities of Paraná were born through the coffee culture such as Jacarezinho, Cornelio Procopio, Londrina and Maringa.
After the Treaty of Taubute prohibiting development of new areas for coffee production in the state of São Paulo, the Paranáense soil became coveted for the cultivation of coffee. Paraná’s soils are of volcanic origins which yield the highest natural fertility; combine the rich soil with a mild climate and evenly distributed rains throughout the year and the result is coffee cultivation heaven. Between 1950’s and 70’s the state of Paraná was able to produce approximately 22 million sacks of coffee, establishing itself as the main world producer of Rubiacea.
Nowadays, the North Pioneiro of Paraná produces 50% of the state’s coffee while maintaining its growing potential of producing specialty coffee that is both certified and sustainable.
