Investing in coffee farms provides an opportunity to own a tangible, valuable asset. For instance, owning a half-acre turnkey coffee parcel for less than $20,000 can yield an average annual return of 10%, calculated over a 20-year period. This type of investment is backed by experienced operators who manage the farms professionally and are located in strategic locations such as Panama and Belize.

Additionally, ICFC reserves 20% of the farm’s operating profits to provide a bonus pool for the impoverished coffee farmers, creating a sustainable and ethical return on investment.

The Belize Coffee Company (BCC) was founded in 2016 to focus on 3 fine flavor cacao farms.
