biggest part actually. which is why she's interested in everything to do with coffee including how it's produced and transported and above all who makes money from it and who doesn't. i meant that with any other product we always want to know every detail right down to the name of the cow before we buy a carton of milk it's ups and downs we don't have that option with coffee at all because 95 percent of the market is dominated by a very opaque trading system and. coffee is traded on stock exchanges which is why the purchase price for green coffee beans fluctuates constantly. diseases yacht's bite us consumers don't even know that world coffee prices in 200-1000 were at rock bottom for farmers they go to the supermarket by their beans and think that everything is normal. about you have to tell them or you check what you're buying ask questions look at the package if there's no information on it how do you know

sing it aims to revolutionize coffee production from planted see to gross to theme everything should remain in the hands of the produces as they say he's trying to win over support his. is a big deal we can get very close to the coffee experts and the consumers it's just fun pouring the coffee and getting the feedback. there is a bit of a back story to how he got here. 4 years ago sow they discovered his passion for african coffee today he's an expert on this subject it takes 9 months before a crop can be harvested. this misdeed the main thing is to pick only the red buds the greens should stay on they need a few more days that's why it has to be done by hand or by.

you can make our coffee cooperative is nestled in the hills of northern rwanda from here xander exports coffee to europe. he wants to advance the improve on the methods of big name competitiveness he and his business partner alan the pira were roommates back in berlin today they are working to create jobs for people and no one to. many of the young people. interested in getting into coffee business because their incomes in the coffee business are too low so it's our goal to change this narrative to make sure that you know. most people who are involved in the coffee value chain better incomes and out will attract young people to come back into coffee business. well coffee farm is wages have fallen in recent years the coffee industry sales have been increasing . over the last 2 decades companies have managed to find ways to sell coffee at

ever higher prices laning in the form of capsules and pods. but wholesale prices have seen a drastic drop on the server and alan want to make the coffee trade fair or like the clinic our coffee cooperative is their ideal partner the farmers here are independent entrepreneurs the cooperative pays good prices and a very special feature here women lot of the benefits. and that's thanks to angelica k.z. she's been working in the coffee industry all her life and sells different varieties of coffee. xander and allen with the missing piece of the puzzle for her vision. that time women coffee was. brewing in me in my head every time and.

when we met i say wow name the even if it's a women coffee maybe have to discuss it with men about everything but. yeah. although coffee production is physically hard work it's usually done by women but when it comes to pay and making the important decisions men usually still have the say in parliament we have a big number of women but in the coffee in the coffee business somehow different because we have a bigger number of women. in farming processing but in our position to frame the decision of this isn't making we have much more number of women does and so it's why we have to empower women. look and choose either team is a good example she found her own 80 call. the trees and has

a demanding daily routine to get everything done. once i've taken the coffee beans to the cooperative i go home and look after the children you. heard i make them something to eat and send one child to school for afternoon classes and then i take care of the household that way i can get all my work done. so much to those. needing of. the workers meet once a week to discuss financial issues or work out how best to support each other ringback they also make crafts which brings in extra income in addition to the coffee. many of the older workers lived through the genocide in rwanda 25 years ago and many lost family members land and work united there working for a better future. it will men has many activities to do

at home they must to have. something i mean from that activity so that she can come visit the demand because this is something which is. coming in the family from the time she is not around at home. harvesting is a painstaking process. after the coffee cherries are picked they have to be watched . the women in the co-operative earn twice as much as other coffee farmers in rwanda the profits are distributed evenly. because now we're going into a very orderly process where the bins where the bins are grown are going to get out of the house the process is broad fodder.

i. the red husks are used by the farm is as fertilizer. because this is where the coffee beans go after the cherry has been discarded and they've been washed and fermented and then when they're wet you can clearly see which beams are good and which aren't and then they have to be sorted again by hand but you've been. angelica has developed her own coffee brand with soccer and alan angelique's finest the brand and the company both belong to the women in the co-operative. i. love them. connects the coffee beans have to dry so they are spread out on wooden wrecks for at least 15 days.

this is by no means the last step in the production of finest the next undertaken by the women's corporative is a very special one. making the transportation of coffee more environmentally friendly is a big goal and nothing symbolizes that goal more than that of on tour. it's the key to achieving a truly sustainable product chain. captain has been fairing goods across the oceans for many years this time it's 1000 sacks a fair trade coffee from central america. to make it. much great that i can participate in such a project as a sailor i have few opportunities to use my professional qualifications. in

meaningful projects. normally when i work on a ship we're all burning over your land carrying goods that i don't really want to transport it simply different here that's why i'm so glad i can work here or doesn't mean i'll buy. the album to a transport's it's cargoes in the same way as our ancestors did nowadays coffee normally arrives in europe from the world's coffee growing regions by container ship. one that i want to onsite with the open tour we want to set an example underscore that it's possible to transport cargo with low emissions. in addition we want to question whether it's really necessary to ship so many goods halfway around the world just to consume them air and whether we might be able to rethink it all and transport less all the biggest.

emissions standards of the type on german roads are virtually non-existent at sea container ship transportation is very cheap but extremely harmful to the environment in addition to c o 2 the world's merchant fleets and the huge clouds of nitrogen dioxide particulate matter and sulfur dioxide. the environmental impact of assailing fright so on the other hand is largely negligible. that's i think it's very much we only use the engine when it's necessary to maneuver or for safety reasons we do not use it to get somewhere faster if there is no wind we simply wait. with all the stuff i have is the crew is that see for 3 courses of the. quit his job as a social worker to join the crew. was amazing this is what's most fun. sail down sail up steering hoisting tacking that's my job

here on board that's where. the majority of the crew works unpaid in exchange for learning how to sail they also want to support a movement to change global trade. change starts with a small group of people who others dismisses dreamers. and we don't mind being perceived as such. but increasingly people are starting to take us more seriously. is still powered freight transport really a viable alternative for the future most shipping companies both at the risks. they all have the deadline pressure everything has to be somewhere at a certain time and nobody has the time to wait for the goods to arrive a little later nowadays everything has to be delivered just in time. just in time for that. but everything is slowly getting underway when power is say it's an

expensive feel research his are looking for ways to combine both in a hybrid vessels that will be able to sailing goodwin's and use their engine in calm conditions the oven to it can transport 114 tons of cargo on this run it's mainly coffee and cocoa the hold is located 3 meters deep in the ship's belly. to get to our load we have to climb through this little hatch up here. we have about a 1000 sacks of coffee on board and my chief mate checks on the load every day and that's important so it doesn't get down. to see if any more easter is accumulated somewhere or if the cargo is slipped which can happen if the ship lurches violently . they have until his voyage has covered over 18000. nautical

miles now the crew is nearing hand. coffee a fashionable drink from far away. most of the wrist and the callbacks effect is passionately committed to good fair trade coffee she says that's why she would gladly pay a higher price for her brew. and instead when i go into a shop to buy coffee i would say that a kilo of coffee should never cost less than $20.00 euros. the state also money from coffee regardless of whether it's a luxury brand or cheap stuff from the supermarket filing and what's not in germany there is a roasting tax which we all pay and that is 2 years 19 that is a huge amount so there's no way that half a kilo can cost $399.00 can you sign. the cheaper the coffee the less remains after tax for production and transportation but right now because main concern is to make it to the final. tally but i think the biggest challenge will be to avoid

any mistakes not to knock anything over as not to forget what i'm saying context and not to tremble and controllability when interest we don't yeah those are the 3 things that always happen i think you must thank. you very very. she's got 10 minutes to strut his stuff this time she's mixing filter coffee with butter rum and not liqueur a concoction designed to taste like caramel candy. it's important that the taste of coffee remains dominant enough in the finished drink over the next hours the judges will sample coffee creations from 80 contestants.

you want is coffee is among the best in africa 400000 people work in this sector. the capital kigali is the main transportation hub for exports which some other and alan are breaking new ground as coffee traders in rwanda roasting the beans in the country of production rather than in europe in the coffee world that is still a rare exception. we're starting the roasting in house the beams are refined roasted packed and prepared for export here in kigali we aren't sending any raw beans from africa to europe to go along with us. this way the profits from the refining process stay in rwanda. after all the manual processing the roasted coffee is ready for export it's available to buy and in german drugstore chain a kilo costs at least 230. the export of

a high quality finished product to europe is a boon for the region it creates new jobs and the profits stay in africa. it's one way to combat poverty and economic migration. from through the oven tours transporting unroasted green coffee its aroma does not fade on the long voyage now the ship is almost at its destination. i'm really very excited. i was born and raised in hamburg and have been out and about at sea for 9 months because i find it really special to return home on board the album tour under sail when i'm not so it's a call to leave. the

oven tour is welcomed by $200.00 volunteers friends and family. they all believe that sailing ships can revolutionize the way could such transports hit. canadian spoke a man who launched the whole project is here to welcome the crew without him none of them would be here. going. back to work. with. the commander spend his life at sea and has seen what burning heavy oil does to the environment to change that he founded the company to the coast. because it would use all of your transport cleanly and we treat everyone in this chain fairly the farmers get a reasonable price and by the way the customers don't pay more than they do for coffee the comes by container ship the price of the same only the profits are not

so big that's clear and everyone in the chain shoulders the cost equally including the environmental aspect of. hammon coleman is one of the customers she is ordered 20 tons of coffee from mexico mainly theoretic a variety but also a few bags of robust. his company's cotai keep it japanese with that means community. german consume is deal directly with coffee from his in mexico sharing responsibility for the harvest. time his. payment policies are also unusual the coffee farmers who work for the company receive the money in advance and get a higher rate than is paid for goods bearing the fair trade seal. heikki imports 20 tons of coffee from full farm is and one cooperative in mexico it

aims to double the amount each year in 8 or 9 years 500 small farmers in mexico could supply coffee 225-0000 households in germany. so far only imported the coffee now that found his son is opening the 1st tightly cafe in hamburg. oh thanks phil we have a very special treat for your birthday. that looks like the album to me it is. designed i created the initial design and then our own came and said dad it looks fine but it's not really contemporary so i said ok you take over i'm handing it all over to you of course i'm learning from it too how can i use the founder of the whole project take a step back that's the biggest challenge. when you go.

here and here's to the principles of solidarity in agriculture consumers in germany order their coffee from farmers in mexico and the organization mediates the whole thing it doesn't make a profit. one off nonprofit neophytes for the term nonprofit is often misunderstood nonprofit does not mean no pay. so just as we pay each farmer according to his needs and that is our 1st priority we also ask the sailors and the roasters and the staff here in the cafe. yeah i was on one and you didn't like it so the basic principle in the thai key cosmos wherever we want to establish the model is that every employee is paid according to his or her needs. and that we can all meet on an equal level no matter which continent we live on the big one. the green cafes

concept includes ditching the usual concorde or plastic coffee to go cups hid them made of biscuit and can be consumed immediately. so if you don't want to eat your coffee mug which is made from delicious biscuit you can of course throw it away and it will decompose much faster than any paper cup or anything else on the market one of my. crew in hamburg a steadily advancing their vision of bringing most solidarity to the world of coffee. at the belden trade fair the focus is still on big business. how the south and also there with their ideas for more equitable world trade. and you see john. and explain this would not be under

a grand slam because he white nuns in france. for a just buy women in the hope we hope that angela finest will become a product that spreads beyond rwanda and then it gives other women's cooperatives from uganda peru colombia all of which already exist access to the market and thus to significantly higher prices higher wages and a bigger share of the profits. meanwhile in the called bus of health is waiting for the results. of her coffee creations have made it into the top 10. that's in the world of. coffee one is a luxury reserved for the rich today it's launching taken for granted with little awareness of its actual. consumers need to pay

a fair price for the coffee they enjoy to ensure that those who producers get a fair way. to.
