This AMCOS has three specific goals for the future: to build a new central processing unit, to renovate the office building & warehouse, and to plant local trees to create shade and biodiversity.

Then they’re spread on raised drying beds, where they will be rotated constantly throughout the course of drying, which takes an avg of 20–25 days, depending on the weather. This lot contains Blue Mountain, Bourbon, Kilimanjaro, Luwiro, and various other heirloom varieties cultivated in Tanzania.
