1. Why follow Rapide Group ($RAPI)?
We're building an Asian agricultural commodities group, starting with Indonesian coffee. This feed is where you see it happen.
A fact to end the day: coffee grows in more than 50 countries, almost all in the "bean belt" between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn.
Indonesia sits right in the middle of it. $RAPI #coffee
What we're building: a business that handles coffee from the farm gate to the export container.
Sourcing, processing, grading, storage and trade. One chain, done well. $RAPI
Coffee 101: what is "screen size"?
Green beans are sorted through sieves measured in 64ths of an inch. Screen 18 means 18/64 of an inch.
Bigger, even beans roast more evenly and often fetch better prices. $RAPI #coffee
Kopi tubruk: Indonesia's everyday coffee.
Coarse grounds and hot water straight in the cup, often with sugar, left to settle. Simple, strong, and everywhere. $RAPI #coffee

Coffee 101: packing green coffee for export.
The standard bag is 60kg of jute. Many exporters add a hermetic liner to lock in moisture and freshness.
Kept dry and cool, green coffee holds its quality for months. $RAPI #coffee
Robusta is the backbone of instant coffee and of many espresso blends, valued for its body, crema and strength.
Indonesia grows a lot of it. $RAPI #coffee
Coffee cherries on one branch don't ripen together, so careful farms pick by hand several times a season, taking only the ripe red ones.
Slower, but it's where quality starts. $RAPI #coffee
Coffee is a seasonal crop, and every origin harvests at a different time of year.
So roasters buy from several countries to keep supply steady all year. That's why strong origin-to-export businesses matter. $RAPI #coffee
Two weeks ago $RAPI signed a Letter of Intent to acquire an Indonesian green coffee sourcing, processing and trading business.

From the Ground: where Indonesian coffee begins.
Family farms on volcanic slopes across Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi, many of them around a hectare. Most of the country's coffee comes from farms like these.
Updates from the ground. $RAPI #coffee
A fact to end the day: one espresso takes around 60–70 coffee beans.
