FnB Tech operates in a number of supply chains where social and environmental challenges exist. Poverty is often at the root of these issues. These supply chains include coffee,fruits,palm oil, rice, hazelnuts and fishery products.
We implement programmes as defined by our ten material areas, advocating and implementing international best practices. We also focus on Innovation and Technology, to help us get beyond incremental improvements and achieve our Purpose to re-imagine global agriculture and food systems.
We work with third-parties that assess and report our progress to achieve sustainable supply chains. We acknowledge there’s still much work to do, and we’re collaborating with farmers, communities, governments, industry, NGOs and other stakeholders, to find ways to deliver real and lasting progress.
There’s a good chance your day started with a cappuccino, or a cold brew, and you aren’t alone. In fact, coffee is one of the most consumed drinks on the planet, and it’s also one of the most traded commodities.
Plants take anywhere from 4-7 years to produce their first harvest, and grow fruit for around 25 years.
The fruit of the coffee plant is the coffee berry, containing two beans within. Ripened berries are harvested either by hand or machine.
Coffee berries are then processed either in a traditional "dry" method using the sun or "wet" method using water and machinery. This removes the outer fruit encasing the sought-after green beans.
The green coffee beans are hulled, cleaned, sorted, and (optionally) graded.
Green beans are industrially roasted, becoming darker, oilier, and tasty. Different temperatures and heat duration impact the final color and flavor, with some preferring light roasts to dark roasts.
Any imperfect or somehow ruined beans are discarded, and the remaining roasted beans are packaged together by type.
Roasted beans are shipped both domestically and internationally. Bulk shipments go to retailers, coffee shops, and in some cases, direct to consumer.
