Panel 4 - From Bottlenecks to Flow: Rethinking Coffee Logistics

I joined the logistics panel at the Swiss Coffee Trade Association's 17th Forum in Montreux with Dany Barkha of Sucafina, José Luis Pérez of Commodity Supplies AG, Mirja Nibbe of CMA CGM and Christian Jacob Hansen of the Global Maritime Forum, moderated by Dean Sanders of Etymos. The question was how coffee moves beyond reactive crisis management to connected flow across ports, shipping, data and forecasting.
