- What is “CHIMNEY COFFEE BASE”?

- Problems facing coffee farms
Currently, coffee plantations face three major problems.
·decline in quality
・Production decline
・Reduced producers
This is because the climate has changed rapidly in recent years, it is difficult to balance quality and yield, coupled with economic problems, the number of coffee producers has continued to decrease.
Most coffee farmers in the world are smallholders who depend on coffee for their income. But the coffee industry is economically fragile, made worse by climate change in recent years.
As a result, farmers have little money to improve their farm operations, and workers are often forced to work in dire conditions with low wages and poor job security. Due to this situation, the day when coffee loved all over the world can no longer be drunk is approaching little by little.

- WHY CHIMNEY COFFEE SUPPORTS
Meanwhile, global coffee consumption is currently on the rise. However, as mentioned above, the number of producers is decreasing due to economic difficulties.
Coffee is brewed and served by people. We cannot continue production until we overcome the economic difficulties. To this end, we believe it is necessary to support activities that sustainably produce high-quality coffee beans. First, we will start with Laos, the country of origin of the coffee beans managed by CHIMNEY COFFEE. Our goal is to build a world where coffee-related people can be fair and everyone can be happy.
- Chimney Coffee Base Support Program
We will sign long-term contracts to buy coffee beans from coffee plantations in Laos. By signing the contract, we will create an environment in which we can provide guidance in growing high-quality beans that can be sold at high prices.
Then, we will hire people locally to manage and direct coffee farm operations, and create a system for creating high-quality coffee by improving the employment environment. In the process, we create farm-friendly equipment and land for small farmers who cannot afford it, and create coffee farms with good employment environments to create new jobs. In the future, based on our accumulated knowledge and experience, we will support coffee farms facing problems around the world, not just Laos.
- What is the support NFT medal “CHIMNEY COFFEE BASE SILVR / GOLD”?
We will issue a support medal NFT to prove your support for the event. Two types of support medal NFT “CHIMNEY COFFEE BASE SILVER” and “CHIMNEY COFFEE BASE GOLD” will be released on Thursday, February 2 at 22:00. This is a project from “CHIMNEY TOWN DAO”, which is the governing body of NFT.
