Two fresh graduates established Alpine Coffee Estate Pvt Ltd in 2008. They purchased 6 hectares of land in the region of Nuwakot, Nepal. They had seen the rise in coffee demand in Nepal (traditionally a tea-drinking country) and saw the large potential of the sector, not only from a financial point of view, but also from an impact point of view, since coffee is a crop that can provides farmers with a higher return when compared to the usual ‘cash crops’. The company made its first plantation by planting over 10,000 Arabica saplings.
In 2012 the company harvested its first beans from its Estate and made their first sales. The beans used for these sales, besides from harvested at the farm, were sourced from a group of surrounding farmers. Currently the company is sourcing beans from over 500 + small farmers spread in different districts of Nepal.
In 2014, in order to maintain the healthy growth of the company, the company opted for a Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in form of equity investment. Post FDI, the company invested in the required infrastructure needed to process the coffee from a ‘plant to cup’. Now the company is self-dependent and sustainable and also helps small coffee entrepreneurs in establishing their businesses.
Currently no jobs posted.
