  • Exceptional conversations

    I found Lee‘s podcast only this week and found myself listening to one and another one and another episode. Especially Ana from Colombia touched my coffee soul very deep and awoke my wish to build a sustainable business that supports coffee farmers again.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP1672 Part 2 of 5 | The Day After Colombia’s Earthquakes (Ana Donneys + Angel Barrera) Map It Forward
Q: What was it like the day after the earthquake?
The day after, there was a mix of confusion and relief as electricity and internet were gradually restored while people rallied to support each other, checking on neighbors, organizing food donations, and forming groups to coordinate relief efforts across Armenia and other affected towns.
EP1663 Part 3 of 5 | COMSA Says Benecke Pressured Them to Keep Shipping Coffee (Benecke and COMSA) | Map It Forward
Q: What happened when Benecke's payment delays extended from January through June?
Payments were repeatedly delayed, using bank issues as excuses, while shipments continued under pressure, ultimately risking the sustainability of COMSA and forcing producers to bear the cost of financing the operations.
EP1663 Part 3 of 5 | COMSA Says Benecke Pressured Them to Keep Shipping Coffee (Benecke and COMSA) | Map It Forward
Q: In your experience, what did it signify when Clemens von Storch asked you to send the coffee despite Benecke's financial problems?
It suggested an intent to fulfill contracts while Benecke was already in insolvency, illustrating a dangerous disconnect between contractual obligations and the buyer's financial reality, which could leave producers bearing the risk.
EP1661 Part 1 of 5 | COMSA, Benecke & the Coffee Relationship That Lasted 23 Years | Map It Forward
Q: Could you give us a background about you as individuals and your roles in COMSA?
Rodolfo describes his long involvement in COMSA, including organizing savings and investment mechanisms for producers, while Cristian discusses governance, management, and the aim of growing COMSA transparently to benefit farmers.
EP1661 Part 1 of 5 | COMSA, Benecke & the Coffee Relationship That Lasted 23 Years | Map It Forward
Q: Could you explain to people the role of a cooperative and how important a cooperative is and how it's different from just farmers representing themselves?
The cooperative structure helps small producers access better pricing, market links, and financing, and provides a platform for collective action, technical assistance, and longer-term relationships that individual farmers cannot easily achieve on their own.
