ACEDGA is an abbreviation in Spanish of the name of the Association of Differentiated Speciality Coffee growers from Gaitania, Tolima. This association was conformed on December 28th of 2006 when a group of coffee producers gathered together with the objective of seeking better commercialization opportunities of good quality coffee.

Nowadays there are 75 families going after the same dream: to improve their quality of life through social projects that involve dwelling improvement, sustainable practices, Good Agricultural Practices, forest and environment conservation. 75% of members are Organic certified but have been 100% FT certified since 2019. Premiums earned have enabled them to improve water treatment.

Over time, Acedga as a company has gone through different changes that have led it to continue positioning itself, but mainly they have focused on always having excellent quality coffee, the personal and professional growth of each person involved in the organization, and the contribution they provide to society, of which they are part.

As a method of diversifying, they also offer their coffee to local markets roast and ground and associates have participated in different coffee contests in Colombia like Cup of Excellence, with member producers such as Astrid Medina Pereira and Edith Enciso Yasso winning first place. Certifications: Fairtrade, Organic
