Green Coffee Company: Current Deal Offering
The current macroeconomic environment has provided coffee sector investors an incredible opportunity to acquire distressed coffee farm
assets for redevelopment into one, consolidated farming group in the heart of Salgar, Colombia. Since inception two years ago, the
management team has effectively operated and redeveloped three large estate farms, established strong national and international distribution
channels for large quantities of coffee, thus building a vertically integrated company from the ground up.
After two long years of intense negotiations, the management team was happy to announce the successful closing on the next round of farm
acquisitions at the end of January. Our patience in managing relationships with land owners and commitment to only accepting deals we saw as
profitable to investors paid off. We originally anticipated a price of about $2,875/acre, and a requirement that we pay for the entire deal up
front, in cash. Ultimately, we were able to acquire the new farms for $2,148/acre (a savings of over $1.3 million dollars), paid out over two
years, or at GCC's election, 3 years.
The new farms have a total land area of 1,758 acres, increasing the GCC’s total acreage to 2,364. The farms already have 2 million coffee trees
planted, with 770,000 in renovation. We will be planting exciting specialty lots in undeveloped areas, and aim to add in around 1.1 million
additional trees across the land. With increased production, we also see a clear need to expand the processing capacity of the company, and will
be investing significantly in improved infrastructure.

Key Macroeconomic Figures & Strategy
Why buying coffee farms in Colombia makes sense

GCC worker performing phytosanitary control at La Gabriela Town of Salgar 9


Why Colombian Coffee Matters
Colombian coffees are consistently rated among the best in the world. Global commodity markets
consistently price Colombian coffee as the premium coffee that it is.
§ Colombia exports a lot of coffee: Colombia is the third largest
exporter of coffee in the world, second only to Brazil in the export
of Arabica coffee.
§ High quality: Colombian coffee is renowned for its high quality
and consistency on global markets.
§ The coffee trades at a premium: Colombia is the only commodity
coffee that trades at a premium to global spot prices on the global
commodity market exchanges, giving it a financial advantage over all
other coffee producing nations.

“Mexico, Salvador, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Kenya, New Guinea,


Panama, Tanzania, Uganda, Honduras, and Peru all at par, Colombia at 400
[basis] point premium, Burundi, Rwanda, Venezuela and India at 100 point
discount, Dominican Republic and Ecuador at 400 point discount, and Brazil at
600 point discount.”

The Current Colombian Coffee Farming Market
Currently, the Colombian coffee farming is highly fragmented, with a multitude of small landholders
and only a few large operations. This sector is a prime target for consolidation.

§ Almost no international players: Only 5% of farmers have


coffee farms over five hectares (12 acres) i.e. 95% of farmers
have small farms with very little access to capital, global supply
chains, experienced human capital, etc.
§ Small farms: Average farm size is two hectares (five acres) per
family unit, of which there are 563,000 families producing coffee
in Colombia.
§ No access to capital: Access to capital for small coffee farming
operations is nearly non-existent in Colombia. The formal
banking system has very little appetite for these activities, making
it nearly impossible for smaller farmers to efficiently scale-up
their operations.
§ Inefficient operations: Without any benefits of scale, these
smaller landholders rely almost entirely on costly manual labor.
The lack of automation creates a system full of inefficiencies.

Coffee commodity prices are rebounding
After a few years of low rates, commodity prices for coffee have rebounded, in part due to the

Transaction Overview
Second Round of Group Asset Acquisitions & Infrastructure Development in Salgar,
Colombia

Sebastian, our junior agronomist explains to Linda Smithers, our Senior Advisor, some of the key
highlights of the new farms as well as exciting new initiatives for the project. La Colombiana Farmhouse 15
Why do group asset acquisitions make sense?
By purchasing large contiguous assets in groups, we can achieve lower asset acquisition prices and the
ability to operate integrated farm infrastructure to create significant, ongoing cost efficiencies.

Our ability to negotiate preferential deal


terms is important:
The number of potential buyers of large coffee estates/
multiple farming units (large being defined as over $2m
USD) is very limited in the domestic market. Very few
local Colombian families/businesses have access to the
amount of capital, both to purchase farms and to provide
the working capital necessary to effectively develop and
maintain the farming operations.
There is limited competition for these land
acquisitions:
Domestic Colombian buyers who would be interested in
purchasing large estates are most likely already in the
coffee business. Unless assets being evaluated are in the
same area geographically as their current operations, no
benefits of scale can be achieved by purchasing these
assets.

16
Why buy farms in Salgar, Colombia?
Numerous factors make Salgar one of the most attractive coffee-producing regions in Colombia for
total-return investors

§ Proximity to Medellin: Salgar is only a 2 hour drive


from Medellin, giving it easier access to infrastructure
and greater access to labor than many other coffee
farming locations.
§ Coffee Specialization: Salgar produces only one crop:
Coffee. This ensures that there is no premium paid for
the land as is the case in many other coffee areas.
Additionally, in many areas with productive coffee
farming, wealthy Colombians buy fincas/farms for
personal use, which increases land prices.
§ Experienced Labor Pool: Coffee has been farmed in
Salgar for multiple generations, resulting in a ready
supply of skilled labor and talent.
§ Access to Natural Resources: Salgar has access to
multiple water sources. This makes it an excellent
location for our central infrastructure plans, and
The road leading to Salgar plentiful water ensures that crops grow well.

two processing plants that split the production between the eastern and
western farm lots. This consolidated operation will integrate well with
our existing farms and immediately increase our production levels.

Geographically well positioned:


The acquisitions give GCC two operating hubs. Our three current farms
and La Esmeralda, one of the largest farms in the acquisition positioned
between our existing operations, will make up the eastern hub. The rest
of the acquisition targets accounting for the western grouping.

Valuable flat land close to town:


The acquisition includes flat land at the bottom of the valley that offers
the perfect spot for a consolidated base of operations. Its proximity to
the town center provides a direct link to labor and supplies, via a newly
paved road which is a luxury in rural areas.

Specialty Coffee Discussion
What makes a coffee “specialty coffee”? It comes down to three main factors: Coffee varietal,
processing method, and most importantly flavor and cup score.
Flavor: (greater than 80 points by SCA cup score standards)
Any coffee lot that has unique flavors and scores well by SCA standards can be
considered specialty. While varietals and processing methods are huge draws, in
the specialty coffee world, it will always come down to how the coffee tastes.
Novelty Coffee Varietals:
There are certain rare species of coffee trees that are sought after by specialty roasters
in developed markets. These varieties usually have specific flavor characteristics that
have made them world renowned. Producers still have to care for these trees and
carefully sort the product for defects for the coffee to shine.
Novelty Varietals we will be growing: Geisha, Burbón family varietals, Caturro
Specialty Processing
In Colombia, the vast majority of coffee is processed by immediately removing the
cherry layer and mucilage to produce standard flavors that the country is well known
for. However, there are many other methods to process ripe cherries to create unique
flavors that are rare, especially for Colombia.
Standard coffee varietals can be “made specialty” by processing them with one of
these methods, as long as the underlying coffee is of a high enough quality.
Processes we will be using: Natural, Honey, Carbonic Maceration, Fermentations

Enhancement of Quality
What exactly do we mean when we say the quality of the coffee will increase? It will come from a
combination of farming and processing best practices, and from adapting to fulfill client needs.

Coffee Cherry and Parchment Purchases


§ Coffee Cherries: Coffee cherry purchasing requires a detailed analysis of every
input batch in order to predict the quality of the parchment that will be produced
from those cherries. GCC will then pay the producer, minus the processing fee,
which has a small margin built in as well to recoup costs.
§ Coffee Parchment: GCC purchases parchment at the local market price only if Green coffee in our warehouse
the coffee is of a certain quality and we have the ability to re-sell it at a profit.

Farm Build-Out
The management team determined that renovation, or in some cases entirely replacing certain lots, was
required to ensure long-term profitability of the company. Therefore, our first year of operations on
the new land will have considerably lower production than we expect to see in the future.

Cost ($USD)
The first two years of our farm development costs are included in the capital raise figures.
In our experience, we have found that fully developing a lot of coffee farmland typically
costs about $0.80 USD per tree. Starting in 2022, the costs will be covered by the profits
generated from farm operations. This includes replacing old trees, cultivating coffee tree
nurseries, and other value-added investments to the land that do not fall under
infrastructure spending.
It is important to note that the total tree count will fluctuate as we replace old lots and
make decisions about the density (trees/acre) that makes sense in a given part of the farm.
While this metric is useful, the varietal, age, and density of the lots, and how well the trees
are maintained, are the chief factors that determine how productive the trees actually are. New coffee trees, El Leon

GCC Qualitative Historical Analysis
What general themes have the management team learned during the start-up phase of the company?
§ Agricultural production levels are subject to material factors outside the control of management (i.e.
weather): Ensure working capital budgets are sufficient to cover buffer for unexpected weather conditions and
ensure sales distribution channels are flexible to accommodate annual changes to production levels and potentially
quality levels.
§ Ensure we engage in smart business decisions for the long-term: Enterprise profitability is largely determined
by creating a sophisticated farming, processing and distribution network that is steadily built over time and will
continue every year.
§ The primary way to control upward pricing, is to sell coffee outside of the commodity space to
international buyers, and these relationships take time, often years, to build. The entire farming enterprise
needs to be tailored to the unique needs of these higher-end buyers who value consistency in quality and quantity
above all else.
§ Management talent is one of, if not the most important aspect of the entire operation: Our upgrade in
management talent over the last year to transition to global professionals is what will allow us to respond more
effectively and capitalize on clear market opportunities.
§ Business scale is necessary: The platform cost (i.e. talented management team, sophisticated systems, etc.) to run
an international business is largely a fixed cost and to derive the most value of that established platform, the
business needs to scale is size.

GCC Infrastructure
Infrastructure is Key to Our Success

Current status of GCC infrastructure
While the current infrastructure is well positioned to handle the short to medium term needs of the
operations, the company must make significant investments in order for the business to scale effectively.
Processing Plants (also known as wet mills):
Utilizing our current 4 operating wet mills, GCC will be able to process all of the 2020 harvest
with specific key investments to increase capacity in the short term. However, in order to
increase both the processing capacity and the quality of dried parchment produced, the
company will be completely rebuilding two facilities with state-of-the art technology and
processing capabilities that will increase the long-term value of the business.

Coffee Laboratory:
We recently installed a brand new coffee laboratory at our warehouse in Medellin. The coffee El Leon farmhouse, before the new roof
lab is a crucial piece of any large-scale coffee operation, and with the new acquisitions, it has
become a necessity. To maximize the value of our coffee, our quality control manager and his
team can determine what is going right (or wrong) at the farm level by sampling and evaluating
the coffee using international protocols.

Other Infrastructure:
Vehicles: GCC has 4 pickup trucks , 4 motorcycles, 1 bobcat, 1 large truck and 2 cars
Farmhouses: The original farm’s accommodations are in stable condition, but many of the old
farmhouses on the new land must be renovated. Centralized worker housing also must be built.
Offices & Warehouses: GCC rents office space in Salgar and Medellin where the management
teams operate. The company also runs 2 primary warehouses in Salgar and 1 in Medellin.
37
Development Plan: Wet Mills & Warehousing
Wet mill processing plants are a vital component of a successful operation, and smart investments now
in high-tech machinery and buildings will enhance investor returns.
Over the course of the next two years, the company will be
remodeling our two primary processing facilities into state-of-
the-art wet mills with increased capacity, lower waste, and
improved quality.
These wet mills receive the majority of our cherries through
cafeductos or trucks. The coffee will first be sorted by a high-
tech color scanner to ensure quality separation from the very
beginning. The beans then continue through the system, where
they are de-pulped, washed, sorted again, and dried. The final
product is called parchment, which is the form in which it is
stored in our on-site warehouses before sale.
Why is investment in infrastructure so important?
A coffee with defects and flavor problems can be salvaged by
using diligent quality control protocols and the right equipment
to sort the coffee effectively.
Conversely, a great coffee can be ruined by poor sorting,
improper fermentation, or by not processing the coffee quickly We will be contracting with JM Estrada, a reputable construction

Development Plan: Buildings & Other Infrastructure
In addition to the wet mills, investing in a variety of other areas will ensure that the entire operation is
as integrated and efficient as possible.
Investment in Other Infrastructure over 2 years: $336,842
§ Worker housing: During a harvest period, the company will have over 200 individuals
working across the 11 farms. We will be constructing a new, centralized building for
housing all of our farm workers that is safe, comfortable, and convenient.
§ Technology Solutions: We are developing real-time inventory & farm data
management systems to control everything at the farm level. We will also be installing
internet, security systems and coffee weighing scales at all the farms.
§ Cafeducts: Cafeducts are pipe systems set up through the mountainous farms. They
allow coffee to be transported great distances by gravity directly to wet mills. More lines
must be added and/or repaired to maximize the farms’ output.
§ Roads: The farms are not only large, but extremely steep in many areas. Roads through
the farms are crucial for getting labor, supplies, and coffee in and out of the farms
safely and quickly. The new farms have no significantly developed roads, and the
network of roads through the original farms must be extended and improved.

Specialty Processing Facilities: We have two “back-up” wet mills that will ultimately
serve as facilities for our specialty processes. We will be able to experiment with small
batches and micro-lots in a controlled environment and bring out exciting unique
flavors in the coffee to increase its premium. Creating these areas will not take
significant investment, as we will simply be re-purposing old equipment and spaces.

Agrosura is a wholly owned subsidiary of GCC and manages all of the
Colombian operations for the company. This includes all farming
activities, coffee cherry purchases, operating wet mills, and coffee
trading within Colombia. Locally, the company coordinates with
cooperatives, as well as local and national government entities, to
improve the business in various ways, from joining interesting
sustainability initiatives, to participating in local events or conventions.
Domestic Sales Strategy: Why Sell Parchment?
§ Simplicity: There will always be a marginally profitable market for
local trades in Colombia. Part of the business will continue to
engage in local sales, whether it is to refresh old inventory, take
advantage of sudden price spikes in the commodity markets, or
quickly move product.
§ Physical hedging: We can hedge some of our coffee positions
for upcoming harvests and provide stability throughout the year.
§ Sub-products: While there might be innovative opportunities to
sell sub-product overseas in the future, the local markets offer a
great way to quickly sell off low-grade coffees that are an
inevitable byproduct in the growing and processing of coffee.

While specialty products have the highest profit margins, the core
revenue driver of the business in the medium term is expected to be even
these large clients. They typically order multiple containers of standard
coffee over the course of a year.
International Sales Strategy: Green Coffee Sales

Go-forward Sales Projections
As the quality of the coffee improves, production increases, and international sales channels develop,
the company’s profits will rise and become diversified across multiple points of sale.

*Note: We assume that all coffee sold domestically is sold as parchment (AKA unprocessed green coffee). When parchment is turned into green coffee, it
will lose on average 20% of its weight as the parchment is removed. Defects are then sorted out and sold domestically to clients at a discount. In addition
to processing & logistics fees, this weight loss is another important reason for the price difference between the two products.

Why Sustainability Matters
Over the past decade, we have witnessed the global economy begin to recognize the importance of valuing all
stakeholders in a business, not just a handful of investors looking for short-term financial gains. New research comes out
every day that reinforces our belief that operating a company responsibly is not just the right thing to do, but also
generates improved financial returns. We want to be part of a new generation of companies and business leaders that
break the damaging cycle of short-term thinking.
By operating GCC through this lens, the management team has been able to identify opportunities that would normally
have been overlooked in a traditional company.

Key themes to our sustainability initiatives:


1. The initiatives we engage in will generate value for the the GCC
2. We use idle/waste products from processing coffee or running a
farm and convert them into something both useful and profitable
3. Our actions help improve the social standing of the company,
locally, nationally and internationally, which provides both tangible
and intangible value
4. Sustainability Sells: Our clients, particularly specialty coffee clients,
demand coffees with environmental certifications, and will pay high
premiums to support these programs Nearby waterfall, El Leon 48
Our Impact Strategy
Here are the company’s three key focus areas as we become an integral part of the local, national and
international coffee communities. Our actions are in line with the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals.

Smart Agricultural Practices
By taking proper steps now to improve our farms, we minimize key environmental risks and increase

Our farm managers have seen a noticeable increase in the number of migratory and local birds, small
mammals, and other wildlife that have returned to the farms since we began taking better care of the
land.

World Coffee Research
World Coffee Research is a nonprofit research and development agricultural research organization.
Their stated mission is: "Grow, protect, and enhance supplies of quality coffee while improving the
livelihoods of the families who produce it.”
GCC’s specialty brand Abira is partnering with World Coffee Research as a member of the Check-Off
Program. This initiative allows roasters to “check off ” the option to slightly increase the end price they pay
for our coffee. We collect the additional pennies per pound from these sales and donate them to WCR's
global research programs.
Additionally, Abira is beginning work through the Colombian Ministry of Agriculture to allow WCR to
establish a working laboratory on one of the GCC’s farms. We are at the beginning stages of this project
but are looking forward to becoming a part of the research that will help the coffee industry ensure its long-
term sustainability.

Environmental Benefits of Centralized Infrastructure
The development of centralized infrastructure is an integral part of a sustainable agricultural system.
We plan to lead the way in supporting and developing cutting edge environmental practices
The Problem:
Current farming practices in Colombia by small farm holders can be highly destructive to the
local environments, especially local water supplies. Much of this devastation is due to the
processing of coffee cherries and the “dumping” of waste product into local streams and
rivers. Many coffee farmers also burn coal as a fuel source for their mechanical dryers.
Environmental destruction is seen as a key long-term risk of coffee farming practices by the
FNC (Federación Nacional de Cafeteros), which is the government agency charged with
monitoring the coffee trade in Colombia.
The Solution:
An efficient centralized processing plant can carefully
monitor and filter water via water treatment machines and
waste products can be cleared and disposed of in
environmentally friendly ways.
By building sophisticated infrastructure systems and using
world-class farming techniques, we are both building
successful business operations while simultaneously
supporting sustainable agriculture.

54
The Coffee Cherry Buying Program
We are proud of this initiative that not only helps expand our production capacity and supplementary
income, but also provides a crucial marketplace for rural coffee farmers in our region, and limits
environmental damage to local waterways.
The Problem:
Traditionally, in order to sell their coffee, farmers must individually process their coffee from its
cherry form to parchment. This involves removing the cherry layer, washing off the sugars, and
carefully drying the coffee to a specific humidity level.
Processing the cherries can be a difficult strain on local farmers given that the cherries must be
processed within 24 hours of picking. Farmers can also potentially damage their crop with old,
outdated machines or by improperly drying the beans. In regards to the actual sale, farmers need to
physically deliver the coffee, often on horseback, to the nearest town center which could be miles
away across steep, difficult terrain.

The Solution:
Our team recognized the opportunity to support local farmers while improving our business. To
accommodate this program, we have established remote coffee cherry receiving points for rural
farmers at the edges of our farms. We are able to test the quality of the cherries brought to us and
can offer a fair market price for their unprocessed coffee. Then, through trucks and piping, we
transport the cherries to one of our wet mills. With more sophisticated infrastructure, we can
extract more value from the farmers' cherries. Our facilities are also designed to minimize our
environmental footprint through proper waste disposal, advanced machinery, improved piping, etc.
As we update our processing facilities over the course of the next few years, we expect to eventually
have the capability to process up to 1.4 million pounds of cherries every day.

Comparative Company Valuation Analysis
Most companies with direct exposure to the coffee industry are massive, multi-billion dollar enterprises.
The public valuation of these companies can set a benchmark for the reader to which our estimated
exit of 12x EBITDA can be viewed as a conservative estimate of future GCC enterprise value.
