At the heart of Costa Rica’s renowned coffee region, Santa Anita Coffee Farm, owned by Agrícola El Cántaro, is embracing the future with Netafim’s advanced drip irrigation technology. As a fourth-generation coffee-growing family, their commitment to sustainability and innovation is shaping the next chapter of Costa Rica’s coffee industry.
