MTPak Coffee has announced that it will once again support the seventh edition of the Producer & Roaster Forum as a Gold Sponsor. Additionally, MTPak is the official STE Roaster sponsor for the event.
Each year, the Producer and Roaster Forum (PRF 2024) brings together coffee professionals from around the globe to nurture long-term commercial relationships and partnerships. Following a successful visit in 2019, PRF 2024 will return to Guatemala City between the 7th and 8th of March. With eight coffee-producing regions, Guatemala is a rainbow of coffee profiles in the heart of the Mayan world.
Created specifically for coffee roasters and green buyers, the Sourcing Trip Experience (STE) is a four-day trip to coffee-growing regions of Guatemala, followed by the PRF forum in Guatemala City.
During the STE, coffee roasters and buyers from around the world will have the unique opportunity to gain a direct and immersive insight into coffee production in Guatemala. They will stay with local hosts on coffee farms throughout Guatemala, allowing them to gain first-hand experience in cultivation, harvesting, and processing techniques at their origin.
As the official STE Roaster Sponsor for the event, MTPak Coffee aims to unite coffee producers and roasters and provide value for both parties.
“We’ve always been more than just a packaging company,” said MTPak Coffee’s founder, Mark Zhou.
“We see ourselves as part of the wider coffee community.”
PRF promotes MTPak’s belief in direct trade, whether sourcing coffee or packaging.
“Direct trade for coffee packaging is important because it allows roasters to communicate their needs to the people who are actually manufacturing the products,” Zhou explained.
