Coffee Planet buys its own plantations

Coffee Planet LLC has announced a further extension to its business with complete access to its own coffee growing plantations in Central America through the Coffee Planet Corporation of Honduras.

Coffee Planet managing director Richard Jones said: “This is a tremendously exciting day for us. It’s a dream come true to be sourcing our green coffee beans directly from our own plantations. Only by being in control of your raw product can you guarantee the quality of the end product that the customer drinks from their cup”.

He said the company was “very proud” of its association with Honduras, believing that to trade fairly, companies need to be directly involved with farmers.
