After someone like me picks coffee, it gets bagged up in feed sacks and hauled off to a place like this where a buyer receives your crop. Here, our coffee rolls down a shute to a larger coffee company truck. My boss told me that this particular company exports the majority of its coffee. It's the beginning of the season, so the next time my boss goes to sell his coffee (in 17 days) it will probably be busier. In two months I am told that the countryside is hard to traverse for all the coffee that's getting transported to and fro.
