Hello,

If you are in USA you can start going at CoffeeExpo in Seattle (April 19-22) 2018. There will be a lot of coffee producers attending, inclunding us. I think you will find some coffee producers from Africa also.

Have you been working in the coffee business before? Any doubts let me know.

Informations:Registration Information ? Specialty Coffee Expo

Thx.

Thanks for the feedback Pedro,
I am in Canada. My experience in coffee is limited as farming. I will probably plan to go at the coffeeexpo for next year. Now I have production capacity of about 300 tons a year. I have the capacity of increase my volume by buying from other producers, but I want to secure a purchaser before engaging in large volume. I will appreciate if you can give me some insight

regards
