FTAK-FTO-17
- Origin: India
- Process type: Natural/Sun Dried
The process
The Robusta harvest season runs from January to March. Red Ripe coffee is picked by the farmers and sun dried to perfection. At the FTAK collection depots the coffee is checked for moisture (always below 12%) and bought by the cooperative. It is moved in truck loads to the curing works (factory) to be hulled, polished and graded. Representative samples are sent to prospective buyers and on confirmation of order, coffee is hulled, bulked, and preshipment samples are sent to the buyer. On confirmation order the produced lot of Robusta Cherry is shipped to the buyer. FTAK and its products (coffee, but also cashews, spices, cocoa) are fairtrade (FLO), EU organic and Rainforest Alliance certified. Furthermore, they are the first group in Asia to be certified according to the Small Producer Symbol (SPP, for its Spanish acronym), the first fair trade farmer-owned certification system.
