Other Experience
I have been working closely with coffee farmers to commercialize their coffees in Europe for many years. I have a great interest in coffee farming, variaties, processing and fermentation. My best origin project was called "Slopes of 8" - A fully transparent trade project with Kenyan smallholder farmers overseen by local agronomists and Suca-stainability. I spent four years on this project, achieving great results and Its still active today. It allows smallholder farmers to access dry milling and sales outside the normal Kenyan auction system. The prices are transparent for all, and payments are swift.
