Wow! This is amazing!
I am so happy to have found your post because I am working on projects involved in coffee in Honduras. The traceability of the sourcing is a huge step in bridging the knowledge gap that exists in the coffee industry. Farmers really are paid the lowest portion of the profits from the entire supply chain.
This is a project I will definitely keep an eye on.

Glad you found it informative,most farmers in East Africa can also relate. Some in the Kenyan highlands are shifting to other profitable ventures or real estate.
