For the 2025–2026 harvest season, the cooperative expects demand to reach 56 containers of Arabica and five containers of Robusta.
Speaking at the cooperative's 19th Annual General Meeting for 2026, Sithong Phetlatsy, Chairman of PCFC, said the organization was established on August 7, 2007, under its former name, the Bolaven Plateau Coffee Producers Association, with support from the Bolaven Plateau Agricultural Development Project (PAB), a joint initiative of the Lao and French governments.
The cooperative was founded by smallholder coffee farmers committed to producing high-quality, chemical-free coffee across three districts of the Bolaven Plateau: Pakxong in Champasak Province, Laongam in Salavan Province, and Thateng in Sekong Province.
PCFC is a 100 percent farmer-owned cooperative, and all of its coffee is certified under organic agriculture and Fair Trade standards.
The cooperative also promotes sustainable farming by encouraging intercropping of coffee with fruit trees to preserve ecosystems and increase farmers' incomes. It currently has 484 member households, cultivating 1,611 hectares of Arabica and 371 hectares of Robusta coffee.
PCFC operates its own coffee pulping centre, processing mill, organic fertilizer plant, and coffee roasting facility. It also works closely with domestic and international banks and financial institutions, enabling members to access stable markets and export coffee directly to roasters in Laos and overseas.
Looking ahead, Sithong said the cooperative plans to expand its membership and production capacity while strengthening both domestic and international market access. It will also continue providing training, technical support, and knowledge-sharing to members, management, and staff to improve production standards and organizational capacity.
He said the cooperative aims to contribute to building a self-reliant and resilient economy while increasing farmers' incomes and improving their quality of life, with the long-term goal of becoming a model cooperative at the local, national, and regional levels.
Sithong also encouraged members to maintain high-quality production standards and work together to steadily increase productivity and income.
For the current season, the cooperative is offering 125,000 kip per kilogram for Arabica green beans and 92,000 kip per kilogram for Robusta dry parchment.
