Wadi Mahyad - Transparency

Farmers: Collective lot from the Wadi Mahwad village
Importer: Qima Coffee

Price we paid for the landed coffee at our roastery: 55CAD/kg

FOB price: 30CAD/kg (cost of exporting from Yemen to the UK to Canada not included)

Farmgate price: 27CAD/kg (minimum 30% above market price)

This is the biggest lot we have ever bought from Yemen: 156kg. Yemeni coffees, due to the high quality and difficulty to export, are quite pricey. We wanted to have a bigger, more affordable lot to share with you, and Qima graciously gave us a 5CAD/kg discount that will come out of their own profits.

Qima Coffee also donates 10% of their annual profits to the Qima Foundation, with the money being used for social development programs.
