They installed a Penagos pulping machine in 2022. The site has 7 permanent and over 100 seasonal workers. Water comes from a deep gravel rock well. The station uses machinery to sort, pulp and remove mucilage, then ferments for 24 hours before handwashing and sun-drying on beds for 9-12 days. Two quality control managers oversee moisture and drying. The station also provides agronomy education and is involved in renovating the nearby elementary school.”
