Coffee and the production chain

To understand the challenges of the EUDR you first need to know the basics of the production chain of coffee.
The journey of coffee from farm to cup involves several key steps. It starts with the farmers who grow and harvest the coffee beans. These beans are then sold to small cooperatives, which are groups of farmers working together to process and market their coffee. Next, the beans are purchased by commercial buyers, known as comercializadores, who handle the logistics of getting the coffee to larger markets. From there, the beans are sold to big importers like Starbucks, who roast and package the coffee for sale. Each step in this production chain adds value and ensures that the coffee reaches consumers in its best form.
