How to handle the import of coffee beans? Is the import of coffee beans a profiteering industry? What is the tax on imported coffee?

I don't know if it's an open secret.

The retail price of coffee beans (roasted) is about six or seven times the cost of imported raw beans.

Those who claim to be high-quality beans can even reach ten times as much.

It started because I visited a coffee factory next to a COSTCO last month.

When he came out, he picked up a pound of 1800 beans (honey treatment)

A few days later, chatting with a shipping operator, he was laughed at and treated as Pan'a.

Because they are responsible for importing most of the coffee beans.

So I have a slight understanding of the cost of these raw beans.

Of course, technologies such as bean baking equipment are all costs.

But if there is such a big profit,

There is a reason why the coffee industry has been booming in recent years.

Do not consider baking damage, weight loss rate, bean picking, bean dryer cost, labor, gas cost?

There are hundreds of raw beans, there are low prices and high prices, how do you know what the cost is in the mouth of the shipping operator?

I don't know whether coffee beans are profiteering.

But coffee production from the cultivation of coffee trees to the harvest of coffee beans for baking, there are too many factors affecting the quality.

Good coffee beans are really fragrant and valuable.

But some bad coffee beans with sour taste are expensive to deceive people into thinking that bitterness is indistinguishable and normal.

This is really like exploding profits.

However, don't forget that just like eating rice, why should you judge Taiwan's top ten good rice? Can you buy four times as much rice at the price of a small packet of rice?

Some people eat cheap imported rice (many bento shops sell this, which can be sold cheaply across the sea to consumers)

If that's the case, it's not right to say that Taiwan's good rice is exploding.

Some imported rice is cultivated in a large area. Taiwan's "high quality" rice takes a delicate route, but there are also "worried" rice.

If the cultivation and management method of simply spraying pesticides is adopted, Taiwanese think that selling ancestral property is an unworthy son, so if they give birth to two, the land will be divided into two plots.

Plus land change (collusion? ) the farmland is small and small, so it is not suitable for a large number of mechanical farming (there are also those who specialize in renting machinery)

Compared with the rice cultivated by chemical control, some "worried" rice in Taiwan will lose (the problem of cost, in the end, depends on subsidies. ).

It only depends on whether consumers can afford it and whether they are willing to support Taiwan's high-quality rice.

(PS: subsidies actually do harm to Taiwan's agriculture, but most people can't accept the increase in rice prices, so it's hard to handle the whole.)

Drink coffee, depending on how much you are willing to spend on rated coffee.

The reason for profiteering is that countries in Central and South America have been exploited and overturned.

1/5 of the people in Ethiopia depend on coffee for a living, but the price of coffee is not determined by coffee farmers. Coffee from the place of origin is sometimes sold for 0.75 yuan per kilogram, and if it is good, it can only sell for 4 or 5 yuan (US $0.12 for one dollar), that is, US $0.60 for a kilogram of coffee beans, or about NT $20. A kilogram of coffee beans brewed 80 cups of coffee can sell for $230, while coffee workers earn less than $1 a day. & # 39
