Lecture Description
Green coffee importing is a little-understood -- though critical -- piece of the specialty coffee supply chain. Often, importers are dismissed as “middlemen,” a term that minimizes both what they do and all they can offer. This lecture proposes to explain the full role of green coffee importers, the impact they can have across the supply chain, and the services and information that roasters and green buyers can rely on them for and benefit from.
