Coffee Supply Chain Boom
Shayak Roy@shayak28
The idea
I believe coffee keeps gaining on tea as new drinkers come online across Asia, and the real money sits upstream of the cup. So this basket owns the supply chain: fertilizer and crop-care makers, roasters and green-coffee dealers, Latin American farmland owners, and the equipment and irrigation that more planting would require. It mixes large steady names with smaller, more direct plays, keeps a cash cushion, and avoids betting heavy on any single company since this is a years-long thesis, not a quick trade.
