Abstract

RESUMEN En este artículo se hace una revisión del origen, la evolución, la consolidación y la pérdida de dinamismo del sector cafetero en Colombia. En cada uno de estos procesos se presentó un importante acompanamiento institucional, representado básicamente por la Federación Nacional de Cafeteros, que surge como un acuerdo de voluntades entre las dos zonas cafeteras por excelencia del país: la oriental, integrada por Norte de Santander, Santander, Cundinamarca y el oriente del Tolima; y la occidental, conformada por el sur de Antioquia, el Viejo Caldas y el occidente del Tolima. Este trabajo busca revisar y entender los inicios del café en estas zonas —regiones donde se inició la expansión cafetera del país— y las diferencias que se presentan entre ellas. También se intenta determinar la importancia de la Federación en el desarrollo cafetero, así como su papel a lo largo del siglo XX (después de 1930), periodo en que el café colombiano tuvo sus avances más significativos.******This article examines the origin, evolution, consolidation and loss of buoyancy in Colombia’s coffee sector. Each of these stages saw institutional accompaniment, basically in the form of the National Federation of Coffee Growers (Federación Nacional de Cafeteros), which emerged as an agreement between the two finest coffee producing areas in the country: the east, comprising Norte de Santander, Santander, Cundinamarca and eastern Tolima; and the west, made up of southern Antioquia, Viejo Caldas, and western Tolima. This study seeks to review and understand the beginnings of coffee production in these areas —the regions where coffee expansion started in Colombia— and the differences between them. It also attempts to determine the importance of the Federation in the development of this sector, as well as its role throughout the 20th century (after 1930), the period in which Colombian coffee made its most important advances.
