CLIMATE & SUPPLY RISK
Brazil’s frost and drought cycles, El Niño-linked rainfall swings in Vietnam and Indonesia, and altitude-dependent harvest windows in Ethiopia and Kenya do not move in the same direction at the same time. A buyer who tracks only one origin’s weather season is exposed to a shock that a second, uncorrelated origin might not share.

Discuss your sourcing planFor buyers in Oman, the UAE and Iran, compare harvest timing, supplier updates and shipment windows for each proposed origin. Evaluate and approve samples from an alternative origin before relying on it as backup. Agree a realistic delivery allowance and review availability, specifications and costs for each inquiry; diversification can reduce exposure but does not guarantee uninterrupted supply.
