The Fine Art of Composting In Coffee Plantations (INeedCoffee.com)
„Most coffee farms are known for the availability of tons of organic raw material needed for preparation of compost. Poultry litter, sheep droppings, piggery waste, cattle dung, any of the above mentioned products (singly or in combination) are added to fresh leaf litter, weeds, succulent stems, coir pith, press mud, coffee husk in layers. At times, an inoculum of beneficial free-living nitrogen-fixing and phosphorus solubilising bacteria along with strains of Trichoderma and Mycorrhizae are inoculated to the mixture of organic residues so as to hasten the process of decomposition. The entire process of composting is either done by the Pit or the Heap method.“

„Several coffee importers have found the farmer unable to ship the coffee at these absurdly low prices. The importer is then forced to purchase coffee on the spot market in order to fulfill their obligation to the roaster, who is also suffering in the financial squeeze. In an attempt to help the farmers, several coffee roasters have begun paying premium prices in order to ensure that next year that the same quality coffee will still be available.“

„Fair Trade Coffee is produced under a program that ensures that the coffee farmers in developing countries (like Indonesia) are paid more for their coffee. Under the fair trade agreement, an importer must meet stringent international criteria; paying a minimum price per pound of $1.26, providing much needed credit to farmers, and providing technical assistance such as help transitioning to organic farming. Fair Trade for coffee farmers means community development, health, education, and environmental stewardship.“
