The coffee world has been turned upside down since the COVID pandemic. Delivery delays, high coffee prices, and challenges for producers, traders, and roasters. Added to that, frost and drought in Brazil, nothing is as it was just a short while ago. This podcast is intended to be a compass for everyone in the coffee industry to navigate the coming months.
In this episode: Mark Bolliger, Finca Rosenheim, Villa Rica, Peru
In this special edition of our coffee-making podcast, I talk to people who are analyzing the current situation, clarifying issues, and raising important, new questions. Everyone who works with coffee in any way is already feeling the changes, or will be in a few weeks at the latest.
In this episode of Coffea Economica, I talk with Mark Bolliger from Finca Rosenheim in Villa Rica, Peru.
Mark Bolliger, Finca Rosenheim, Peru
Mark Bolliger is a coffee producer in Peru and runs Finca Rosenheim. Mark talks with Philipp Schallberger about things that sometimes seem trivial to him because they're so routine – but for his customers, who are green coffee traders and roasters, this information isn't at all self-evident. Coffee production is sometimes romanticized and often clichéd. Mark talks about the daily challenges, rising fertilizer prices, poor roads, and why he doesn't make organic coffee.
- On organic coffee: "I make coffee for economic reasons. If someone would pay me what I need for organic coffee, I would do it, and I would do it really well."
- "I often think about leaving coffee production behind. But I don't. Making coffee takes over. But I also don't want to grow old and still make coffee and always have the same problems."
- "Picking coffee is tough work. The people who do it well can earn good money. But there are other jobs here, and I have to compete with those jobs. I have to make the job attractive."
