Providing farmers access to international buyers. During 2021 we sold $2.6m of green coffee through our platform. Currently Raising Seed. #agtech#agritech
@davidkuchar@darrenmarble Yes, I can see how that would happen. The more we pitch and learn about what’s needed we refine our business plan and offering. Pitching gets you to really justify your reasoning and plans.
So pleased we put this coffee cupping together. To have the roasters there alongside the Yemeni farmers. The farmers telling their stories. Who they tore down the Khat bushes in favour of growing Specialty Coffee and seeing their real changes in their lives. #agtech
We are so excited about the National Yemen Coffee Cupping tomorrow. We have got some great buyers, some press, some competitors and their coaches, and then also Moktar and two of the farmers have flown in from Yemen. It is going to be a doozie! @OZONECOFFEEUK#agtech.
We have another cupping! Come and taste the coffee in the upcoming National Yemen Coffee Auction; a Yemen Ministry of Agriculture collaboration with The Mokha Institute (TMI). The best 30 coffees have been narrowed down from an original 1200 submissions. https://t.co/swvtGqJkF5
This is great. The team have been working really hard with our partners to make this happen. Come along and find out what we are all about. And learn about the coffee farmers we work with. #agtech
We've got coffee! We are putting on an industry event to showcase one of the best coffee producers on our platform. Open to anyone looking to take part in the auction or learning about how we are helping coffee farmers reach international buyers. #agtech https://t.co/H7EdiDrzuH
@gokulr 2/2 The reality is you don't often get to choose. However a broader sales mix is a far more healthy way to trade. It alleviates risk and gives you more choice. Being beholden to one large customer can be uncomfortable in various ways.
@gokulr 1/2 We've been in both positions. In the beginning with one large contract that enabled us to establish a foothold in the sector. And then as we grew we have developed a diverse set of contracts and relationships.
We are really pleased to announce we have been certified with ISO 270001. Running a commodity marketplace means we handle a lot of data. We take process and security seriously. Well done to the team for achieving this. It's like being a grown up company.😀
@sabakarimm We are building a coffee (& soon tea) auction platform to build trade access for coffee farmers.
Why? Because small holder farmers earn below substistence living for their crops. We want to help them earn a socially sustainable living.
@erica_wenger Yes indeed. Totally. It’s more inspiring for that then anything else. And to do both makes it all the more authentic. One drove (the attitude towards people and values) the other (the growth).
