EP 929 Greg Oddo - Open Sourced Weather Data for Coffee - Map It Forward Middle East Podcast Lee Safar
Q: How far ahead can you typically look at something and say, I think this is going to happen then?
It depends on what I'm looking at, but I can have a pretty good idea of an El Nino or a La Nina, and what that is likely going to mean six to eight, nine months in advance.
EP 929 Greg Oddo - Open Sourced Weather Data for Coffee - Map It Forward Middle East Podcast Lee Safar
Q: What does open sourced mean?
It means anybody can get their hands on it and not have to spend a lot of money.
EP 926 Greg Oddo - The Impact of Weather on the Coffee Industry - Map It Forward Middle East Podcast Lee Safar
Q: Why should we pay attention to the weather if we're in the coffee industry?
Weather is the primary variable affecting coffee production; disruptions, like those experienced in Brazil, impact supply and consequently prices, affecting the entire coffee supply chain.
EP 928 Greg Oddo - Coffee Industry Adapting to Changing Weather - Map It Forward Middle East Podcast Lee Safar
Q: Why are younger generations hesitant to take over family farms?
The volatility in the market makes it unappealing for younger generations to continue in agriculture, leading to a trend of corporate farming instead.
EP 928 Greg Oddo - Coffee Industry Adapting to Changing Weather - Map It Forward Middle East Podcast Lee Safar
Q: A lot of people are saying that we have 20 harvests left in coffee because of the weather. What are your thoughts on that?
The situation is dire, and while it's not likely that coffee will completely disappear, we will produce significantly less if changes aren't made.
