Agriculture

Dense smallholders on volcanic slopes; some estates.
Long history of cooperatives → strong institutional memory, but aging infrastructure in places.
Post-Harvest
Processing
Processing reality
Washed dominates via CPUs.
Fermentation and washing are generally well understood; drying capacity is the limiter.
Rain events during peak harvest create bottlenecks.
Logistics
Supply Chain
Supply chain + power

Coops with better access to pre-finance pay cherry faster and capture better quality.

Buyer truth
