> First, infrastructure. A wet mill—the machinery needed to process coffee cherries into beans—starts at $50,000 for basic equipment. Industrial-scale operations run into the hundreds of thousands. A moisture meter for quality control? $2,000. Drying beds? Storage facilities that prevent mold? Cupping lab for quality assessment? The capital requirements stack up fast. I'm surprised there is no group trying to raise funds for small coffee farmers to obtain this equipment. |
