Hi guys,
I was wondering if the coffee bean connoisseurs could help explain something regarding the coffee bean industry.
I understand coffee beans come from various parts of the world, such as Latin America, Central America, Asia, Africa, etc. But do the coffee bean farmers sell these harvested beans to companies that then grind and sell them via supermarkets, or do the farmers themselves grind the beans and sell them directly?
My understanding is that it is the former (farmers sell the beans to companies). If that''s the case, could you provide me with a brief list of the some of the companies.
Any help would be appreciated ( i tried wiki''ing it with no luck). This is for a project BTW.
Thanks
