Constitution of the Small Farmers Association
In 1975, a Small Farmers' Association was formed in the Apurimac River Valley to confront the monopoly of large traders. This organization was the precursor to the FECVRA created in 1979.
In 1975, an Association of Small Farmers was formed in the Apurimac River Valley in an attempt to curb the abuses and monopoly of large traders in the area. This organization preceded the creation of the Peasant Federation of the Apurimac River Valley (FECVRA) in 1979. The association emerged in a context of economic dynamism in the valley, characterized by the cultivation of cash crops such as coffee, coca and other cash crops. The area experienced a massive migratory flow of highland farmers since the mid-1960s, who occupied land for commercial agriculture.
