SUSTAINABLE CAUSE FOR LOCAL COFFEE COMMUNITIES

Coffee cultivation in Nan Province
Nan Province is a major coffee-growing area in Thailand. The region has a complex terrain of mountains, a humid and cool climate, and rich soil minerals, which make it ideal for coffee cultivation.Coffee farmers in Nan Province are developing their cultivation practices with the support of government agencies. They are mostly family-run and they take pride in the quality of their coffee. Coffee-growing areas cover many districts, such as Ban Manipruek in Thungchang District, Ban San Charoen in Tha Wang Pha District, Bo Klue District, and Pua District. Additionally, several coffee clubs have been established to promote coffee education, comprehensive development and production and cooperation among farmers. One particularly coffee farm dear to our heart in Nan Province is Ban San Charoen, Doi Suan Ya Luang. This coffee farm is led by Seng and Jirarat, who are committed to producing high-quality coffee. They have been developing their yields and processing techniques over the years, and they now offer a variety of coffee products, including washed, hone, and dry processes using anaerobic techniques to make the coffee flavors more complex.

Big Black Box, a Thai coffee company, has partnered with coffee farmers in Nan Province, including Seng and Jirarat, to support coffee cultivation and development. The company has invested in equipment and training, and it has helped to introduce new coffee processing techniques to the region. Big Black Box is also working with government agencies to conduct CSR activities and to help people in the community.

In the near future, we plan to expand our partnership with coffee farmers Ban Omkoi, Chiang Mai Province. We will build a washing station in Ban Omkoi to purchase produce from farmers and to help develop coffee beans in its best quality and taste. This will help to elevate the quality and price of coffee from the region, and it will allow farmers to sustainably grow their business.
