Small coffee bean business owner in East Africa sees growing local demand for coffee brewing equipment but no local suppliers, making it hard for customers to buy equipment and for the business to capture that revenue.
Customers cannot find affordable brewing equipment locally; importing single units is too costly, and there is no wholesale supplier for small businesses to resell.
