Agriculture
Farming
Farming system
Medium to large estates; dense shade canopy.
Professional labor; agronomy is relatively standardized.
Post-Harvest
Processing
Processing reality
Washed Arabica dominates; naturals exist but are less common.
Fermentation is conservative; drying on patios/mechanical dryers.
Monsoon season dictates tight harvest windows.
Logistics
Supply Chain
Supply chain + power
Estates sell parchment/cherry to curing works (mills) that control grading, blending, and export prep.
Exporters often own or control curing → leverage sits downstream.
