Coffee Supply Chain
The coffee supply chain involves several steps to bring coffee from farms to consumers. It starts with farmers cultivating coffee beans, which are then harvested and processed to remove the fruit and pulp. The beans are dried, graded, and exported to roasters worldwide. Roasters roast the beans to develop flavor, then package and distribute them to retailers. Consumers buy the final product, whether as whole beans or ground coffee. Throughout this process, logistics, quality control, and fair trade practices help ensure the coffee reaches consumers efficiently and ethically.
