A Better Deal For Growers
Village Coffee is set up in Sydney, NSW, primarily to sell PNG’s smallholder, arabica organic coffee and the benefits going back to the farmer more than the present practise. Village Coffee imports green beans directly from the farmer groups.
PNG coffee farmers currently receive around $1.20/kg to $1.30/kg, and yet coffee is commercially sold for between $25/kg and $60/kg to the public in Australia.
Village Coffee believes the growers deserve a higher payment for their effort and risks. Village Coffee addresses this inequality in income that has been created by the powerful international businesses, to help the growers in stimulating the direction for their own future. This plan attempts to bring growers and the community out of poverty.
