The history of the coffee goes back to the thirteenth century, although the origin of coffee is still unclear. It is believed that the Ethiopian ancestors of the present Oromo people were the first to discover and recognize the energizing effect of the grains of the coffee plant: however, no direct evidence has been found indicating where in Africa it grew or what natives They would have used it as a stimulant or even knew its existence before the seventeenth century.

Includes the inland waterway system in the estuary along 1,050 kilometers of coastline in the vicinity of New York City and northwest New Jersey, as well as airports in the region, assisting the railroad system And highways. To choose the port, variables such as lines that offer service between Colombia and the USA, the distance between the point of production and the port or between the port and destination, Terminal conditions, tariffs, equipment and security must be analyzed. Distribution channels: Intensive distribution Supermarkets, hypermarkets, stores and even in a neighborhood shop. It is about making the purchase of coffee accessible to all people.
