Will I Taste The Difference With Organic Coffee?
Environmental awareness has awakened the sense in consumers to preserve the resources supplied by mother nature. What better consumable to start the earth saving project of organic farming with than growing of organic coffee beans?
Organic coffee beans derive from coffee trees grown under an awning of taller growing trees and plants, usually banana trees. These natural tree awnings are the perfect shield allowing just enough sunlight and rain to seep through. 50% shade is ideal for the slow growing conditions sought. The falling plant leaves serve as a natural compost and mulch layer at the bottom of the coffee plants to retain moisture and top quality soil profile. No synthetic pesticides may be used on organically certified products.
The popularity of the coffee bean is astonishing as it is ranked second in terms of world trade with oil at the number one spot. These small green seeds have a retail market of an estimated Seventy Billion US Dollars. In the past, pricing of beans where haunted by significant drops and rises caused by super sensitivity to volatile conditions in the market. The impact of world recessions on bean prices have been eliminated by the fixing of minimum prices.
The ripe berries are plucked from the trees and soaked in water. Left over pulp is stripped off so that only the bean is visible. The beans are then left to try in the sun. The whole process of picking, soaking and drying is undertaken with great care as one coffee tree produces only an estimated 2.20 lbs beans per year. Once the drying cycle is complete the beans are sacked and weighed. Special areas are allocated where organic products are kept in prescribed conditions ensuring that after auctioning and shipping that the end user will get the best the farmer has to offer in accordance with the high standards enforced.
A downside to organic produce is the scarcity of the products. Organic foods have a tendency to be associated with higher prices to consumers due to the products' steeper pricing in relation to conventional products. Prices are higher due to various direct and indirect influences such as low yields, higher labor requirements, business start-up financing and additional land needs.
Organic coffee farmers have to comply with strict International rules and regulations prescribed by independent organic organizations, Fair Trade and KNCU (Kilimanjaro Native Cooperative Union). Compliance with these directives entail recognition for producing and supplying high quality coffee beans of international standards, which in turn assist the farmers of organic coffee beans to tap into global markets.
Job creation for the community is another advantage of organic farming due to the intensity of labor. Participating farming communities on the African continent are reaping the benefits of growing organic coffee beans in terms of gaining economic independence, development of health care and education systems as well as building a positive future for their countries and families. - 17269
