I will keep it at least until the first harvest is sold or whatever happens. If you prevent yourself from doing anything because you don't experience in it, you won't ever do anything. It costs me around 3000 euros a year to run.

What fruits?

I enjoy coffee, the business I don't know, that is why I want to try. I'll try at least until the first harvest is sold or whatever happens. It cost me around 3000 euros a year to run for now. So YOLO

In Madagascar, east cost.

My bad, yes I misunderstood. There are but still in small scale and artisanal. And even the people we hired now can do it, but we have time until the first harvest though (3 to 4 years).

Maybe later, for now it's a barebone farm and not much else.

My life does not depend on it, so if it fails, I will lose money for sure but that's fine, won't be the first nor the last time. Labor is cheap and I want to try.

I'm on a sabbatical year, learning how to code. I used to live and work in France so yeah, I have money to invest if needed because labor is cheap. Selling locally won't bring in much profit. That's why I want to specialize i

Will looks into those, thanks a lot. As I want to be environmentally friendly these a really interesting.

The people my dad hired are taking care of it for now. It takes 3 to 4 years to get the first real harvest. I still have time before thinking of how to harvest and sell. For now I just want to keep the trees alive for that duration.

I'll check that out, thanks.

by tsingy 4y ago
Yes I will and will post here again when it's ready and whenever changes happen. Thanks a lot for the advice.

Would be easier for me to learn how to be a farmer than finding someone to lease it. People are poor here and those that can pay will certainly already have their business running somewhere, need to be convinced to take it.

It's on the east coast of Madagascar, can we chat? I'd be really interested in your experience if you are willing to share of course.

It's on the east coast of Madagascar. Yes, but mainly bulk exportation of Robusta for instant coffee. I want to shift production of speciality coffee as there is higher margin there, mainly Bourbon and Arabica Elita.

There are no amish in my country unfortunatly.

Thanks a lot, I will reach out to them.

Hey, thanks a lot. Just dump any information you can, I know nothing about this so any bit of info is good. Leasing is not really an option because finding someone who will lease would be hard, we don't do that here.

Will do as soon some change happen I promise. Well Jason Mraz has access to capital I don't, money makes doing business easier. Thanks for the nice words.

Big YES, please if it's not a bother. Thanks a lot, e-mail is in bio.

> But the OP doesn't have to worry about that, they just need to find a way to market their beans to a specialty roaster. Small batch single origin Arabica can make a tidy little profit. This, I'll probably switch to mainly Ara

Exportation and local consumption tends to mainly prefer Robusta. I prefer Robusta also, way stronger, wakes me better.

On the to do list. But here, not a lot is documented. I will probably have to call a lab when looking for certification in order to have a proper labelling when selling. That would settle it. I'll be more careful if later I have to pla

It's not known because no one produces enough of it and markets it well. The land and climate are perfect, we have Bourbon and Arabica Elita that is high in demand but production does not follow.

by tsingy 4y ago
This is the first thing I will do if I can manage things at an ok level. I'll switch to produce speciality coffee (Bourbon and Arabica Elita), and focus on that. Still if robusta can sold I will still take care of it.

by tsingy 4y ago
Interestingly, there isn't one in my area. Most of the coffee is exported unroasted here, and the local consumers roast theirs themselves.

Will take a look into it, thanks for the link.

Planned, but it's looking to be hard.

1. Well, agriculture always had my interest. As an example, people in my country eat the most rice per inhabitants in the world, yet we still import rice. We have land and everything to plant rice, just not enough tools or knowledge to scal
