FH042 - Wake up and smell the coffee. The world of coffee trading with Moshe Tawil

Moshe Tawil is the General Manager of Panamerican Coffee Group Pty Ltd and International Coffee Traders, a coffee trading company that develops mutually beneficial relationships with coffee producers and roasters. Having loved coffee from a young age, he became enamored at the thought of working with coffee bean producers as a career. He has traded coffee in many countries and has mastered the art of engaging with various cultures and establishing a network of closely-knit producers and roasters.

Moshe joins me today to share the wonderful world of coffee trading. He explains the various processes involved in producing a good cup of coffee, how coffee traders determine the cost of various types of coffee beans and the relationship between buying and selling the commodity in today’s volatile market. He also explains how various countries and culture around the world conduct business differently and how it impacts the way he negotiates trades.

Don’t miss this week’s segment of Reuben’s Rant where I share a recent bad online shopping experience.

And stay tuned to the end of the episode for my Propellerhead of the Week segment to learn how the Buffer app allows you to track your social media accounts efficiently.
