There aren't any thanks to a bottom teir poor country. Coffee is sold / exported unroasted here. And if there are, they control the whole production line, from plants to exportation. I could learn from small producer, and learn to

This is "diamond" idea, I will do and will credit you for it.

It's 60% Robusta 40% Arabica.

Does rainforest with lemurs count as nice view? Anyway, good idea, I will look into it.

I will contact them, thanks for the link.

Permaculture is the goal, but I don't know enough and hiring someone that know enough is also tough. I'm in Madagascar, a bottom tier poor country, has a lot of potential though. Mail sent.

I thought about and I'm already looking for trees / fruits that grow well with coffee. I too think it's a great opportunity, but the lack of knowledge about the subject scares me.

My adventurous mind prevents me to sell. I'm might fail but I will definitely try to make something out of it.

Already looking into hiring. 60% Robusta 40% Arabica. Really good location, altitude and weather for robusta, and slightly less for arabica. I'm leaning towards environmental friendly speciality coffee. I'll take you up on that of

I will hire people for sure. I can manage numbers and people, not a farm. Seems like France laws about inheritance.

I will hire a farmer for sure. But I still want to learn enough to oversee things.

by tsingy 4y ago
Well, in my wildest dream I would do all of this, control the production from start to finish. The coffee shop culture is not really a thing yet in my country, I always wanted to start one. I miss it from when I lived in France where you ha

Thanks for the advice. It was my plan already, targeting people with more buying power is always better for businesses if you can't scale.

As you said it's a huge dilemma. I will keep it as green as possible, even if it cuts production by a big percentage. I'd rather have it fail that be not environmentally friendly. My life does not depend on it, I can afford to fai

Yes I want to do it but not as a farmer, I will hire a farmer. I'm more business inclined and will handle it from a higher level.

Hiring to keep trees alive for the next 3 years (done). The second part is where I needed help. Thanks for the link. Yes that's a lot, around 2.5 tons of roasted beans per year apparently.

That's my plan too, I'm not a farmer. But it still requires me to know how things work on a high level. Thanks for the link.

by tsingy 4y ago
Yes I am, nice guess. Thanks a lot, will take a look into it.

I happily hire anyone that is that knowledgeable, but where I live that is rare, and they are probably running their own stuff. I wholly agree with you though, I won't venture into this alone or without a general view of how things wo

The farmer manager is likely how I will handle it. I have no interest in being a farmer (for now) but still want it as a business that I oversee, hence the need to learn at least a few things about how things work. I'll looking to hire

It's in Madagascar, will take a look into that, thanks. Any links to start with?

I want it to be successful, but for that it needs to be handled well. I'm from a poor country and people that can do that are rare and are probably running their own business. If I can hire someone, of course I would happily hand it ov

Thanks, I will take look into it.

Planning to do that if I find someone competent enough. But that is hard when living a top 10 from the bottom poor country. Also, I still need to learn enough so I can still oversee how things go.

My dad likes to try random stuff out of nowhere, has been living like that for ever. It's no surprise to me anymore. But sometimes he realises he does not have enough time to take care off them, the projects is abandoned or given to an
