They discuss how Raul applied his corporate background in economics to coffee production, his controversial yet effective approach to plant nutrition using the "pregnant wife" analogy, and his new cooperative model designed to build equity for his employees. Finally, get a preview of the unique "hard-to-screw-up" Pacamara Honey lot Raul is submitting to the upcoming Dubai Coffee Auction.
