Descriptions: Coffee processing is explained in this slideshow, from picking the coffee cherries to the roasting and packaging of coffee beans. The process involves 'wet processing' which can be done by farmers themselves and the dry processing which takes places in factories. Here the beans are dried, sorted, weighed and packaged to be transported to national and international markets. Christian Aid partner Soppexcca gives farming cooperatives access to credit and markets helping farmers in Nicaragua earn a better price for their beans. http://www.christianaid.org.uk/whatwedo/theamericas/nicaragua.aspx http://www.caweek.org/ http://www.christianaid.org.uk/getinvolved/christianaidweek/
