Agriculture
Farming
Farming system
Remote, very high altitude; smallholders dominate.
Labor shortages during peak harvest are common.
Post-Harvest
Processing
Processing reality
Washed; long drying times due to cold nights.
Producers often dry parchment very slowly → great when done right, risky when rushed late season.
Logistics
Supply Chain
Supply chain + power
Distance from ports = exporters control logistics.
Many farmers sell parchment quickly for cash → identity can be lost unless pre-contracted.
Specialty buyers often work through deep exporter programs, not spot buying.
