Welcome to the 5th 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

2. Coffee Logistics Is Changing - https://youtu.be/n85-qKuVKNw

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 final episode of the five-part series on The Daily Coffee Pro by Map It Forward, Lee and Angel explore the innovative use of sailing vessels for coffee logistics, aiming to reduce the carbon footprint of coffee transport.

The episode dives into the engagement of companies in this sustainable practice, the challenges of geopolitical conflicts, and the potential market dynamics over the next decade.

The conversation also covers the scalability of sailing as a viable logistics option, the importance of supply and demand, and how companies like TOWT and Belco are pioneering these efforts.

Additionally, Lee touches on the significance of environmental consciousness and the role of new generations in fostering a sustainable future.

Tune in for a thought-provoking dialogue on the evolution of coffee logistics and sustainability.
