From farm to export
- Farming and harvest — robusta grown across the middle belt.
- Processing — pulped, dried and graded, or roasted.
- Export — beans and processed coffee sold abroad, in dollars.
Why dollars matter to farmers
Global prices are set in dollars, so a farmer’s naira earnings move with the price and the exchange rate — the same economics as cocoa and cashew. A fair conversion on proceeds keeps more value at home, and export finance can fund the season.
