Agriculture
Farming
Farming system
Mix of smallholders and company-managed farms.
Inputs (fertilizer/irrigation) often high; yield focus common.
Post-Harvest
Processing
Processing reality
Washed dominates for export; naturals/honeys are programmatic.
Central wet mills owned by companies.
Drying is predictable (patios + mechanical), but speed vs flavor is a tradeoff.
Logistics
Supply Chain
Supply chain + power
Exporters contract farms or buy cherry/parchment.
Short chains; strong consistency, weaker farmer leverage.
