At Cannon, our efforts go towards paying more to the hardest working people in the coffee industry. The farmers.
Our suppliers work alongside Muraho Trading Co which works with co-operatives to improve production, receive a higher price for their coffee, and introduce them to new lucrative markets. This will be a continuous work in progress as our suppliers work with challenges Rwandan coffee producers face.

From Ana Pellicer
'Mio is, first of all, a farm in Monte Santo de Minas, Brazil. A tiny town where I was born 30 years ago, and so was everyone in my family for at least four generations. Last year we decided we did not want it to be just a farm anymore, we wanted to export our coffee, importing it into the UK ourselves, store it here and sell it directly to roasteries.
We dreamed of making the term direct trade actually mean something to our farm, and everyone involved in the process. We want to be producers who are in charge of all decisions regarding the supply chain. We want to take control and expand our traceability to the roaster's door. What is the point of all the traceability work we do at the farm level if we don't know exactly what happens to our coffee afterwards?
Sustainability is incredibly important to us, and we have many projects we are working on to support social, economic and environmental stability'.
