The intelligence you need before entering: where, against whom and with what economics. Operating in Turkish lira (TRY) with high sensitivity to inflation and exchange rate; investment figures in euro equivalents, with labour cost in figures and the KDV nuance (served coffee 10% vs. retail beans 1%).

The real operation is in Turkish lira (TRY) and the report models it with high sensitivity to inflation and exchange rate. Investment and economics figures are also expressed in euro equivalents to make comparison easier. Each figure is cited with its confidence level.
From primary, verified sources: HS0901 trade data (OEC/BACI), population (World Bank), visible supply (European Coffee Trip), culture (UNESCO), taxation (PwC), public interviews from the scene and trade press. Each figure is cited with its confidence level and read as an order of magnitude. We never use inflated or invented numbers.
