Decades later, and with a long way to go, there was a concern for quality in the country. The search for the improvement of coffees involved large investments in equipment, machinery and it was necessary that many of the processes were reviewed. What could be a difficult scenario for Luiz Paulo, already in charge of the farm, served as an incentive and new methods of processing coffee began to be studied. Over time, the search for quality became routine, as well as trips to learn about processes carried out in other coffee producing countries and the exchange of knowledge with other producers.
A bonus-paying policy took place as a motivation for all personnel involved in post-harvest tasks when a lot results on cups are rated over 80 points. Although, a cutback happens when serious defects appears on the cup tasting such as bad fermentations. At the same time, Luiz Paulo offers to the staff some guiding and explanations about the importance of quality processes in coffee growing.
