🇨🇴A decent life for the coffee farmer and the land
We offer a follow-up of your coffee, from the trade to your facilities, so that the direct business of our clients, with our coffee growers, is fulfilled.
Why?
Because the farmer’s contribution to the cost of a cappuccino or a late or a «frappuccino» is much greater than the share he collects from the final product, isn’t it?
This final string is totally unfair in the way prices are set.
Receiving a price higher than the market price is the only way for a coffee farmer to return to a decent life.
We offer “The buyer” to be able to operate the business as a distributor or direct trader, so he can pay the farmer far more than the spot market price. Giving the farmer the benefit he deserves, since his contribution is much more important. To do so, would be the deserved recognition of the Coffee Grower and the generous Colombian Land “at the public price”.
. . . Coffee a basic product of Colombian agriculture and economic developments
The use of coffee as a drink that offers a variety of flavors and is enjoyed around the various daily activities individually or in good company stands out. Coffee has taken on a relevant importance in the world, after identifying that Colombia offers a mild (or washed) quality coffee recognized by the international consumer;
We take this opportunity as an incentive for the internationalization of the product. There are coffee consumers in the market willing to pay a higher price for a differentiated value proposition based on the way it is produced, it’s sensory attributes, basically superior flavor and service.
Therefore, this information, which is based on a basic input of Colombian agriculture, proposes the selection of grains grown with good practices, added to special processes, selections, packaging and functional logistics, for a product category called:

It corresponds to the Coffee Growers who in the value chain carry out the common growing activities, harvesting, pulping, treatment, drying and screening (selection of grains to improve the quality of the final product); This interest represent the most important link in the value proposition, it is fundamental for the raise of the physical attributes of the product, so we can offer a ‘differential quality’ as a critical variable perceived by the consumer; In addition, this interest group is the most likely to receive a high impact in the distribution of the benefits of the value created, since they are people with economic activity in the agricultural sector who, due to geographical location conditions and difficult access to educational and economic resources, are more vulnerable to conditions of poor remuneration, labor abuse, child labor, insecure conditions in their industrial work and poor sanitation and few elements of personal protection; in general, the conditions that guarantee decent, safe and fairly compensated work.
Work on corporate social responsibility and the creation of shared value should be oriented with priority to this group of people, to guarantee the consumer that paying for his cup of coffee sponsors good business practices that project the integral development of a Colombian peasant community.

Value capture

Another fundamental point to capture value, we design a cost structure, in which we identify the product acquisition processes (specialty coffees), the cost of the roasting process, quality control, export logistics costs and the cost of marketing plan to identify the optimization opportunities in the same and in their disbursements and we minimize the times to generate an efficient and profitable return of the resources that we reinvest in the business.
