Coffee
Thailand, Laos and Cambodja are growing as a producers of coffee; especially the North of the country is situated within the so called "Coffee Belt", an area with almost ideal conditions: high situated, constant temperatures of about 23 - 28 °C and enough rainfall. Thailand is now number 22 on the wordwide producers list. Also Laos is growing in this persoective.
Coffee trade is a volatile business and by helping the farmers to get organised and therefore get decent prices for their products we target to establish a more stable income.
Also the right connections with intermediate businesses handling the beans and establishing good contacts with the potential buyers should give a better perspective for the coffee farmers in Thailand.
The Thailand Foundations already has contacts on both sides of the coffee chain and is determined to succeed establishing a healthy and ongoing business between Thailand to Europe.
