Over the years the coffee industry has developed relationships that in some cases are generational, relationships that have developed around the individual actors that make up the current global coffee supply chain.
The Modern coffee supply chain is complex. Oliver and Webber conceived
the term of a supply chain as to describe a “network of organizations that are involved, through upstream and downstream linkages, in the different processes and activities that produce value in the form of products and services in the hands of the ultimate consumer”
The relationships between regional government policies – that allow agriculture and farmers , that grow the crops, the local processing plants that grade and check quality, the shipping companies that export to countries where commodities are stored in warehouses to be drawn into production, manufacturing and distribution to eventually go to create the everyday cup of coffee.
These relationships also as it is more and more understood that modern supply chain systems have to move beyond the interests of the individual and focus on the “ ‘development which meets the needs of the present, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”
Blendly.co.uk is building its relationships around transparency – allowing more of the actors in the coffee marketplace to develop services around the everyday demand for coffee, giving greater access to build and develop the “ needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”
