Short-term: hire someone to keep the trees alive.

Longer-term: start reaching out to top agricultural programs for advice. Look for lists like this one & write to faculty: https://agronomag.com/best-schools-for-farmers-in-the-us/. You’ll probably be able to find people with expertise in coffee. I bet there are also conferences or industry associations that will help with networking. There are probably also government programs in your country.

What happens to the coffee today? Is 8000 trees a lot (sounds like it to me)?



Hiring to keep trees alive for the next 3 years (done).

The second part is where I needed help. Thanks for the link.

Yes that's a lot, around 2.5 tons of roasted beans per year apparently.


Great! You’ve got a lot of time to find and talk with agriculture experts. Should be a fun journey, whatever you decide to do.


It's a lot but green beans only retail in the US for max $8lb a pound. Roasting is another world entirely.
