Have you ever been affected by natural disasters in coffee producing countries? Did coffee made you more aware of the news in other countries? For example, you like Yemen. Then you read bad news related to Yemen and think in retrospection how far up top you are in the coffee chain. Have you ever experienced anything like that?

Of course. Off the top of my head, the loss of Yauco Selecto and other Puerto Rican coffees to hurricanes comes to mind, as well as Honduras a few years ago. Worse, of course, are the man-made disasters like Rwanda.

Best,
