Welcome back to episode 2 of the Coffee Trading Academy podcast. This episode was recorded on October 7th with the famous Soft Commodity Researcher Steve Wateridge of Tropical Research Services. Now I do Steve's intro in the interview itself so I won't rehash that here, but we cover a lot of ground...from how Steve got into the business and what it takes to be a crop forecasting guru to some key origins like of course Brazil, Vietnam and Colombia, and we even touch some more controversial topics like the role of hedge funds, the trade and market manipulation. So this is a great episode and I hope you enjoy it, without further adieu: Steve Waterdige of Tropical Research.
