Welcome to the 3rd episode of a five-part series on The Daily Coffee Pro by the Map It Forward Podcast, hosted by Lee Safar.

Our guest on the podcast in this series is Angel Barrera, the Head of Coffee at Belco.

In 2024, Belco, together with other partners like FAF Coffees in Brazil, started transporting green coffee from origin to its customers via sailboat, challenging the status quo of what the future of logistics and financing in coffee will be like in the future.

In this series, we'll compare and contrast the conventional approach to logistics and financing the transportation of coffee with how it will be done in the future.

The five episodes in this series are:

1. Understanding Coffee Logistics and Financing - https://youtu.be/9GJHnSUqXUk

3. Sailboats May Be The Future of Coffee Logistics https://youtu.be/IA8DMEs4IYk

4. Financing Coffee Logistics - https://youtu.be/nO3kn27K4R0

5. Coffee Logistics 10 Years From Now - https://youtu.be/miSOW7mF8nk

In this episode of The Daily Coffee Pro by Map It Forward, Lee and Angel explore the revolutionary approach of utilizing sailboats for transporting coffee.

This insightful discussion covers the logistics and financial implications of moving coffee via wind powered sailing vessels, which eliminate the use of containers and significantly reduce carbon footprints.

Learn about Belco’s partnership with TOWT, a pioneering shipping line, the challenges faced in shifting to this eco-friendly method, and how this innovative project aims to change the coffee industry.
