1085 Madeleine Longoria Garcia - The Health of Stakeholders In Coffee - The Daily Coffee Pro Podcast by Map It Forward
This is the 4th episode of a five-part series on The Daily Coffee Pro by Map It Forward Podcast, hosted by Map It Forward founder, Lee Safar.
Our guest for this series is US-based industry veteran, Madeleine Longoria Garcia. Having returned from the SCA Expo in Chicago, this series is focused on exploring 'The Conversations We're Not Having in Coffee That We Should Be Having".
In this episode of the series, Madeleine and Lee explore critical issues within the coffee industry's supply chain.
This discussion delves into the health and fairness of the industry's stakeholders, including producers, cafe owners, and green buyers, highlighting the uneven distribution of profits and the struggles faced by different players.
The discussion also touches on the role of banks, landlords, equipment manufacturers, and others who profit significantly from the industry, often at the expense of small business owners and producers.
Furthermore, it discusses the problematic sales practices of equipment manufacturers and the impact on cafes and technicians, leading to a broader conversation about the industry's sustainability and the need for transparency and fair practice.
