Understanding supplier partnerships for coffee shops
There are a number of different ways to source coffee for your coffee shop. You can buy bags of coffee on demand from a wholesale roaster, roast your own beans in-house, or you can look at setting up a long-term partnership with a supplier. Supplier partnerships often come with a number of benefits, which can include reduced prices, regular maintenance, free equipment, and more. However, sometimes there are also restrictions – which coffee shop owners will need to consider.
How can technical assistance help coffee producers defend against pests & diseases?
Just like most other crops, coffee plants are vulnerable to pests and diseases. For centuries, this has posed a huge challenge for farmers all around the world. A large-scale infestation or outbreak can severely damage coffee plants and lead to a significant financial loss for producers. As such, it’s crucial for farmers to understand the measures they need to take in order to mitigate the impact of pests and diseases.
How can coffee shops draw customers back after Covid-19?
For more than a year, Covid-19 has disrupted the way in which businesses around the world operate. Coffee shops are no exception. Many remain closed; others have reopened with significant operational limitations. Consumers are still drinking coffee, however. A surge in at-home coffee consumption through 2020 has partially covered the drop in OOH consumption. Customers are still getting their caffeine fix, whether they’re brewing at home or grabbing takeaway coffee from their local café.
How can coffee roasters drive change at origin?
The coffee industry is huge. In August 2020, the ICO reported that approximately 10.4 million 60kg bags of coffee had been exported in the 2019/20 production year. It also states that some 60% of the world’s coffee production comes from smallholder producers, who together represent some 12 million coffee farmers worldwide. This means that there are millions of people around the world who rely on coffee production as a source of income.
Driving Entrepreneurship In Coffee Producing Communities
Coffee farms are a business. Just like any other business, they function in terms of revenue, costs, profit, and investment. Despite this, around the world, producers struggle with low prices, pests and diseases, and income instability (as coffee is a seasonal crop). To combat these difficulties, producers – as business owners – are increasingly becoming involved in new projects and ventures to improve the profitability and stability of their farm.
Scaling Coffee Production In The Democratic Republic Of Congo
Like every aspect of life in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, coffee production has suffered from decades of armed conflict and political instability. In the 1970s, the DRC produced 120,000 tonnes of coffee a year; some 30 years later, by the early 2000s, that figure had fallen to just 10,000 tonnes a year. Today, Congolese coffee producers still face a range of challenges, from insufficient infrastructure to ebola outbreaks and rebel activity in major producing regions.
Exploring The Democratic Republic Of Congo As A Coffee Origin
In the 1970s, the Democratic Republic of Congo was one of Africa’s leading coffee exporters. However, civil wars and political instability that have persisted from the 1990s to the present day have had a huge impact on the country’s coffee industry. Along with poverty and disease, conflict has claimed more than six million lives in recent years and displaced thousands of people.
Coffee & Conflict In The Democratic Republic Of Congo
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is the second-largest country in Africa and the twelfth-largest in the world. It is home to some 87 million people, and its land is rich in natural resources and offers optimal conditions for the production of high-quality coffee. Despite this, decades of conflict and political instability have restricted the country’s progress.
Keeping Your Coffee Shop Clean & Safe
The last few months have certainly not been easy for coffee shops. When the Covid-19 pandemic first hit, most cafés across the world were forced to close their doors. And while things are not yet truly back to normal, many are now ready to reopen with some limitations in place. Many of these limitations revolve around two crucial priorities: safety and good hygiene. While cleanliness and good hygiene have always been something that coffee shops address, things have changed.
A Roaster’s & Coffee Buyer’s Guide to Rwandan Beans
Rwanda: this small East African country should not be overlooked by roasters and coffee lovers. Known as the Land of a Thousand Hills, its production of high-quality, high-altitude coffee goes side-by-side with its fight against poverty. It’s not one of Africa’s largest producing countries; in 2016, it harvested just 220,000 60-kilo bags, compared to 7.1 million in Ethiopia and 4.9 million in Uganda.

How to Protect Green Coffee From Excessive Water Activity
Imagine shipping exceptional-quality green coffee to a buyer, only to discover that, on arrival, it’s dropped several points on the cupping table. The reason? Water activity, something that has the potential to shorten the shelf life of green beans, create unpleasant flavors in the cup, and even lead to mold. To find out more about water activity, and how to protect green coffee against it, I spoke to Hanuman Jain, CEO of Ecotact, a manufacturer of hermetic, food-grade packaging for green coffee.

Whether you own a specialty coffee shop, roastery, farm, or importing/exporting company, profits are what allow you to not just stay afloat but also to invest in what matters to you: buying good coffee, training staff, purchasing equipment… Unfortunately, sometimes it can feel like money just slips away from us.
