Finca Las Marias
Esquipulas, Guatemala

[Erick Toledo @ToledoEr]

@nadezka5 A muchos productores nos ha costado poder sostener las Fincas en buenas condiciones para seguir produciendo, esta gente ni siquiera muestra el minimo de entendimiento o empatia hacia nuestro esfuerzo. Molesta realmente esa actitud.

@collinskimanth2 Wood board has to have 10 X 10 holes 100 total, that gives you an estimate of the ripeness of the lot to evaluate when to harvest.

@SpillingTheBean Muy bien Maja, gracias por compartir la información directo de la fuente, Felicitaciones.

[Erick Toledo @ToledoEr]

@Lorozco101 @SpillingTheBean @nadezka5 Como decimos por aqui " Que niveles", a ver si alguno de los farsantes que dicen reportar sobre cafe logran una entrevista a ese nivel, directo a la fuente.

@Treg2LS @AlbFerracuti Last year we lost a lot of coffee because of rain while harvesting, this year the problem was drought, we expect 20 to 30% less than last year. We do not count fallen cherries as production because we can not sell those.

[Erick Toledo @ToledoEr]

@AlbFerracuti @Treg2LS This is what we are looking at in Guatemala.

@SpillingTheBean Thank you Maja for keeping us informed directly from the source, my best wishes for you in this new journey, it's so important to have feet on the ground to have reliable information for 26/27 zafra.

*BREAKING #KC; Arabica #coffee RALLY MOVES SHARPLY HIGHER and now up over 10c/lb at intraday high of $3.0325 and WELL ABOVE the $3-mark which WILL stock if not today then in the next few days/weeks both back over $3 and then start the journey back over $4 but particularly HILLARIOUS to see #KC going BUNKERS just hours after @SpillingTheBean aka "The Indiana Jones of Coffee" announces her upcoming intensive 3000K+ Brazil Crop Trip 2026 to ONCE AND FOR ALL settle ALL LIES and FAKE news about the "big" or "huge" 2026 harvest which has FAILED TO MATERIALIZE just as it's high time to evaluate HOW MUCH VOLUME min 1M-2M in IRREVERSIBLE LOSSES was caused by major cherry droppings, as well as evaluating flowering conditions for next 2027 crop WHICH WE ALREADY KNOW will be SHARPLY down on 2026 both on massive STRESS-RECOVERY, LOST flowering potential from early flowering picked at peak of physical harvesting and MANY in significant %% #coffee growers already reporting to have done 50-70% skeleton pruning ahead of flowering period !! IT'S TIME FOR THE TRUTH ABOUT CURRENT #KC CROP CONDITIONS IN BRAZIL !!

@AlbFerracuti @xolanimaseko_ Just to get the green coffee to the export port (FOB) we spend USD 0.2960 per Lb, assuming we get USD 3.00 (FOB) at this price level it's impossible for small farmers to sell their coffee and if we add financial costs and overhead costs, losses add very quickly.

@SpillingTheBean @tomceze I met Maja at our farm in Guatemala, she was visiting coffee farms and talking to producers, I don't think being interested and learn from the problems and conditions of our farms and share that information means she has to have a paid agenda.

A coffee farmer’s life in Uganda is a story of patience,resilience, and difficult choices .

When coffee prices fall, a Ugandan 🇺🇬 smallholder farmer doesn’t simply accept a loss.

They store part of the harvest, waiting for prices to recover instead of selling everything at a lower price . 🌱☕️

When food, school fees, or medical care arise , they sell only a small quantity to a few buyers - just enough to meet the urgent need.

It’s not hoarding. It is risk management. It is survival . It is a farmer protecting the value of months of hard work .

Behind every cup of Ugandan coffee is a smallholder making difficult decisions in an unpredictable market.

@SpillingTheBean Maja, que lastima da ver eso, mucha gente no tiene idea de lo dificil que es no poder hacer nada frente a situaciones como la sequia, nosotros hemos pasado por eso, pero esto que vemos es muy extremo.

[Erick Toledo @ToledoEr]

@Lorozco101 @AlbFerracuti Algunos importadores me dicen que existe una "narrativa" sobre sequia en algunos paises productores, yo les he dicho que este año la narrativa va a ser💸💸, por que no vamos a tener mucho cafe.

"It’s currently raining very heavily in Dak Lak, Dak Nong and Lam Dong. Many areas in Dak Nong are already flooded. It’s raining extremely hard where I live right now," says #coffee grower @Thuttu4 , thanks for sharing DIRECTLY from the source of Vietnam's BIGGEST #KC region home to 90-95% of TOTAL annual production in any average Vietnam #coffee cycle and please STAY SAFE my friend !!

[Erick Toledo @ToledoEr]

@SpillingTheBean Hello Maja, seems like the overwelming amount of coffee from Brazil haven't shown yet to ICE.
Sadly for us we also have been suffering from El niño here in Guatemala so I don't expect a good harvest this year, drought has dominated the wheather around here.

[Erick Toledo @ToledoEr]

@SpillingTheBean Hello Maja, as you have been telling everyone in #coffee, we as producers have been dealing with a very dry weather, limited rain in some regions and non in others and probably a complicated harvest season this year.

[Erick Toledo @ToledoEr]

@nadezka5 @FilipeSant23798 @SpillingTheBean Hola Maja, gracias por estar pendiente de lo que pasa en origen, lo mismo deberian hacer muchos analistas de "cafe de papel", que creen que las plantas son maquinas y que el clima no importa.

@nadezka5 @Thuttu4 Yo hice esqueleteado de toda la finca, quedo en muy mala condicion despues de la cosecha, hubo 9 semanas consecutivas de cielos totalmente nublados durante el corte de cereza, las plantas quedaron totalmente defoliadas.
