Wide altitude spread → region name alone is meaningless.
Post-Harvest
Processing
Processing reality
Washed dominates.
Drying is hard in many zones due to humidity and cloud cover.
Covered patios, solar dryers, or mechanical dryers separate specialty from commodity.
Logistics
Supply Chain

Strong coop presence in some areas; elsewhere, intermediaries dominate.
Specialty lots usually move through programmed coop/exporter relationships.
