Your Tenants Are Trees: Specialty Coffee Investment
Fergus Hodgson, October 8, 2018
Most of the world’s coffee comes from high-yield crops, but the best quality is found elsewhere. Specialty coffee, a $90 billion industry, is a rapidly growing segment with increasing international demand.
Canadian entrepreneur David Sewell is the founder of International Coffee Farms and Agronosotros, which offer affordable investment opportunities in coffee production in Panama and cacao production in Belize. He makes the case for agriculture as a steady, long-term cash-flow stream.
