Finding your way around in the Processing Revolution | Mario Fernández | Green Coffee Summit
Finding your way around in the Processing Revolution | Cómo orientarse dentro de la Revolución de los Procesos.
The Green Coffee Summit and Resource Library would not have been possible without our generous partners, Sucafina, Atlas, InterAmerican, Sustainable Harvest “Tastify App,” and Algrano. Learn more about how our partners are making coffee market resources accessible.
In recent decades, specialty coffee has experienced a revolution in postharvest processing. The speed of new method development is increasing as the success of honey and natural processes has spurred innovations like extended fermentation periods and carbonic maceration. This revolution brings opportunities for technological progress in processing and for leading processors to add value to their coffee, but it comes with a cost: confusion about what each processing method requires and which one is most suitable. How can individuals find their place in this industry-wide revolution? Though we don’t have a precise map, we can suggest a general methodology for orientation and navigation through these exciting, turbulent times. Mario Fernández, Chief Technical Officer at SCA, will talk about the growing interest (from buyers and sellers alike) in using post-harvest processing to enhance flavors and create value.
This presentation is held in Spanish, with English subtitles. .
