Building Relationships with Producers
Farms are measures in hectares - 1 hectares is 2.5 Acres
Small Farm 12 Hectares or Less
Medium Farm 12 -50 hectares
Large Farm Greater than 50 hectares
the majority of the world's coffee supply is grown on smallholder farms that are roughly 2-5 hectares producing 450 - 900 kg of coffee beans
Cooperatives vary in size and can include 100 - 15,000 farms generally centered around a mill or processing facility.
Estates combine both farming and processing
Exporters are independent organizations that buy coffee from smallholder farms
