Wadi Mahyad Community Lot - Transparency

Farmers: Collective lot from the Wadi Mahwad village
Importer: Qima Coffee

Price we paid for the landed coffee at our roastery: 63CAD/kg

FOB price: 42CAD/kg

Farmgate price: 26CAD/kg - 50% above local average.

The difference between the FOB and farmgate price is quite big compared to other coffee origins. Yemen has been at war with Western imperial interests for more than a decade, and it's Red Sea blockade to put pressure on the genocidal entity of Israel (and other world leaders) is making it hard to move goods within the country and even more challenging (and costly) to export coffee.

Qima Coffee also donates 10% of their annual profits to the Qima Foundation, with the money being used for social development programs.
