The coffee trade in Yemen is complicated. Exporters do not buy directly from farmers, but through a network of middlemen. Local buyers store sun-dried coffee berries (dried cherry) in underground caves (caverns). Most of the coffee actually exported are old beans, not new beans in the season. Generally speaking, fresh coffee beans harvested that year are called "New Corp", those harvested the year before last are called "old beans" (Past Corp), and those placed for more than a year are called "old beans" (Old Corp). But this is a local tradition and the reason why the moisture content of Yemeni coffee is usually in the range of 10.5%.
