WHAT IS COMING NEXT
Here we present the succession of the next steps.
The action plan presented can be considered as the most pessimistic plan possible, because it does not take into account the likely results of the crowd funding campaign in regard to the networking of producers and coffee transformers. It only takes account of relationships already developed concerning the production of coffee and the primary processors. However, it is likely that the platform that will be available to everyone can very quickly develop fair trade networks, whether it is in the coffee sector or any other products based on the work force of small producers.
