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

Fargeon

I'm sure you can do it. I recently scaled up my coffee business and opened a couple of coffee shops in Montenegro. I did not have any difficulties with registering this business because I immediately contacted the company https://companyformation.me/montenegro-bank-account-opening/ which provided me with assistance not only in registering a company, but also in opening a bank account. In addition, this service is constantly moderating and helping in matters of finance in the future.

You should talk to Art Vandelay. He's an importer exporter.

That's one of the best businesses you can start anywhere in the World by all means. I haven't found many people who don't love drinking coffee daily, and you can even create a branch of coffee shops with your staff and manage it. I started a small restaurant in my area, and when the focus came to the coffee part, I created the training material by using https://www.docsie.io/blog/training_manual_template/ in a simple way. The hardest part was to get everyone to focus and learn instead of ignoring my efforts.

It's actually a good idea to have training materials when it comes to good coffee making.

What kind of coffee do you import?

It is cool that you have started to develop a business in the field of coffee, as this is one of the most profitable cases. However, if you have a serious organization, then, first, you should arrange a workplace for yourself. I mean, you should have an office where your employees will handle all the paperwork. For example, when I was engaged in tea export, I rented an office on osdoro.com.sg since each company should have its own office. Next, you need to invest in advertising your business to attract the attention of customers and investors. Of course, this will require considerable expenses, but if your business goes well, then everything will pay off in a year.
