PADAH LIN
MANDALAY COFFEE GROUP

Mandalay Region, Myanmar

Mandalay Coffee Group was established in 2014 and is owned and operated by citizens of Myanmar, many of whom have been involved in Mynanmar’s coffee industry for over 30 years. Padah Lin coffee consists of combined daily lots grown by predominantly Danu and some Pa-O hill-tribe smallholder farmers across 16 villages in the remote mountainous area of Ywangan, southern Shan state, Myanmar. This cherry is transported to MCG’s processing facility just outside Pyin Oo Lwin in Mandalay region.

MCG works with smallholder farmers across Ywangan, each of whom cultivates approximately 0.25-3 acres of land, with coffee plants intercropped with a variety of produce such as avocados, jackfruit, papaya, macadamia and djenkol beans. The different types of trees act as a buffer to the spread of leaf rust and provide much needed shade, for both the coffee and the families who welcome the shade around their homes. Most of the farmers do not use fertiliser, but there is a big difference in quality and yield from the wealthier farmers that can use manure from their cattle.
