Darboven, Fairtrade, brokers, the insolvency process and the unpaid producer organisations.The biggest question remains simple: where did the money go?The episode examines the timing of payments and insolvency, what Benecke may have known about its ability to meet its obligations, Fairtrade's response, unanswered questions for J.J. Darboven, the role of brokers, and the information still needed from the insolvency process.But the larger issue goes beyond Benecke.Coffee can be grown, financed, exported, imported, roasted and sold while the producer organisation that supplied it remains unpaid, and may ultimately carry the loss.Lee argues that the industry needs stronger buyer due diligence, payment protection, transparency, broker accountability, early-warning mechanisms and better legal support for producers.The Benecke investigation is not over, but this series leaves the industry with a larger question: How much more risk can the coffee supply chain absorb before something fundamentally has to change?Connect with Lee Safar here:https://www.linkedin.com/in/leesafar/https://www.instagram.com/leesafar Editorial Note: This episode forms part of Map It Forward's ongoing examination of the Benecke Coffee controversy.

But when they are commercially connected to multiple parties in the same transaction, difficult questions can arise about whose interests they ultimately serve.In this episode, Lee examines allegations from the Peru side that brokers pressured cooperative managers not to speak publicly, discouraged some cooperatives from registering as creditors, continued receiving commissions while cooperative payments remained outstanding, and may have had commercial relationships with Benecke and J.J. Darboven.These allegations remain unverified and the brokers contacted by Map It Forward have not responded.The episode asks what brokers knew about Benecke's financial position, what due diligence they performed, what they told cooperatives once payment problems emerged, and whether their incentives created conflicts of interest.In Part 5, we bring all the pieces together and ask: what still doesn't add up?Connect with Lee Safar here:https://www.linkedin.com/in/leesafar/https://www.instagram.com/leesafar Editorial Note: This episode forms part of Map It Forward's ongoing examination of the Benecke Coffee controversy.

But Rodolfo questions whether equivalent scrutiny exists on the buyer side of the supply chain.Producer organisations are required to meet standards, pass audits, provide financial transparency and fulfil contracts.What happens when the buyer does not fulfil theirs?Rodolfo argues that organisations such as Fairtrade should consider whether producer protection needs to extend beyond certification to include stronger due diligence, greater understanding of destination-country laws and possibly legal support when cooperatives are forced into disputes abroad.The episode closes with COMSA explaining why it decided to speak publicly.Rodolfo and Cristian say they are trying to recover money they believe belongs to the cooperative, its producers and the banks that financed the coffee.They also hope that by telling the story publicly, other cooperatives may reconsider how they structure contracts and protect themselves from counterparty risk.Because, as Cristian says, a smaller cooperative may not survive a situation like this.You can connect with COMSA here:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1c5tTT89Rw/?mibextid=wwXIfrInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/comsa_oficial/Website: https://www.comsa.hnLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/comsa-oficialEditorial Note:This episode forms part of Map It Forward's ongoing examination of the Benecke Coffee controversy.

His position regarding Arturo Darboven is more cautious: he says he still has questions about Arturo's role, particularly because of the payment assurance Rodolfo says he received from him on December 10.In the final episode of the series, we step back from the immediate dispute and ask what the global coffee industry should learn from this case.You can connect with COMSA here:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1c5tTT89Rw/?mibextid=wwXIfrInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/comsa_oficial/Website: https://www.comsa.hnLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/comsa-oficialEditorial Note:This episode forms part of Map It Forward's ongoing examination of the Benecke Coffee controversy.

Cristian says COMSA's normal payment experience was approximately seven to fourteen days after shipping documents were supplied, with some buyers paying even faster.With Benecke, those payments began taking significantly longer.COMSA says payment delays continued through the first half of 2025, and that it raised the issue when people connected with J.J. Darboven visited COMSA in June.Rodolfo says COMSA was also told by someone connected with Fairtrade that Benecke was experiencing financial difficulties, although Benecke's representatives in Honduras reportedly reassured COMSA that the problems were temporary and that payment would continue.Later in the year, COMSA asked Benecke to move some planned September shipments to December because high coffee prices and financing constraints were making it difficult for the cooperative to assemble the required volume.According to Rodolfo, Clemens von Storch responded that COMSA needed to fulfil the contracts or risk being removed from the J.J. Darboven project.COMSA says it then made a major effort to comply.Rodolfo says the cooperative borrowed heavily from its banks and sent the final group of coffee, with 11 containers in that shipment representing approximately USD 2.5 million.Payment did not arrive as expected.By mid-October, COMSA says Clemens told them Benecke was experiencing banking problems and asked them to wait until November.When November arrived, COMSA says it was asked to wait again.COMSA also says it did not receive direct notice from Benecke that insolvency proceedings had begun. Instead, it learned about the situation through another contact.By the time of this interview, COMSA says approximately USD 2.7 million remained outstanding.This episode raises one of the most important questions in the series:What did Benecke know about its own financial position when it was still asking COMSA to fulfil these contracts?COMSA's testimony does not itself answer that question definitively, but it establishes the timeline that now needs to be examined against contracts, shipment records, payment communications and Benecke's insolvency documents.In Part 4, we look at what happened after Benecke entered insolvency and how COMSA became a creditor in Germany.You can connect with COMSA here:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1c5tTT89Rw/?mibextid=wwXIfrInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/comsa_oficial/Website: https://www.comsa.hnLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/comsa-oficialEditorial Note:This episode forms part of Map It Forward's ongoing examination of the Benecke Coffee controversy.

Darboven developed an initiative connected to its Café Intención business in which trees would be planted in coffee-producing communities in connection with coffee sold. COMSA says the project initially involved three Honduran cooperatives supplying a combined 105 containers.When two of the cooperatives reduced the volume they could commit, COMSA says it agreed to take on a much larger share of the program.That opportunity created the potential for significant growth for COMSA and its producers.But it also required significant financing.Rodolfo and Cristian explain that when COMSA signs a coffee contract, it must obtain the money needed to buy coffee from farmers, collect it, process it, prepare it for export, meet quality requirements, pay associated costs and deliver the coffee to port.The importer does not necessarily finance that process.COMSA does.The cooperative therefore relies on loans from banks and other financial institutions to fulfil its contracts, with the expectation that once the coffee is shipped and the required documents are provided, the importer will pay and COMSA can repay those loans.That system depends heavily on trust and contractual performance.According to COMSA, that is where the relationship with Benecke ultimately broke down.Rodolfo says the cooperative fulfilled its obligations and shipped the coffee, but payment did not arrive as expected. He describes the consequences as one of the most serious challenges COMSA has experienced in its history.COMSA says the unpaid exposure ultimately involved 12 containers and that the financial consequences now threaten a substantial portion of the cooperative's accumulated capital. Rodolfo also discusses the impact this has had on COMSA's relationships with its banks and its producers.The episode raises a much broader question for the global coffee industry: If producers and cooperatives are required to borrow money to fulfil contracts before importers pay them, who is actually carrying the financial risk in the coffee supply chain?In Part 3, we examine when COMSA says it first began seeing signs that something was wrong with Benecke's payments, and what happened when COMSA was asked to continue shipping coffee.You can connect with COMSA here:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1c5tTT89Rw/?mibextid=wwXIfrInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/comsa_oficial/Website: https://www.comsa.hnLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/comsa-oficialEditorial Note:This episode forms part of Map It Forward's ongoing examination of the Benecke Coffee controversy.

Darboven, and what happened when that relationship eventually broke down.Before we can understand the dispute, however, we need to understand what was built.COMSA was founded in 2001 by a small group of coffee producers looking for a better way to sell their coffee and improve conditions for farming families. Rodolfo explains that the cooperative began with 61 small producers and very little capital, but with the ambition to create stronger access to international markets through organic production, quality coffee and collective action.In this episode, Rodolfo and Cristian explain why cooperatives play such an important role for small coffee farmers in Honduras, where they say approximately 90% of producers operate farms smaller than 10 hectares and many individual producers have limited direct access to international importers and roasters.They also discuss COMSA's emphasis on organic agriculture, environmental responsibility, education and long-term community development, and how the cooperative grew from its beginnings into an organisation with significant infrastructure, technical support programs and almost $4 million in accumulated capital belonging to its members.Most importantly for this series, we begin tracing COMSA's relationship with Benecke Coffee.According to Rodolfo, COMSA first connected with Benecke through Oxy Café in Honduras and began doing business with Benecke around 2002. That relationship would continue for more than two decades.COMSA also describes how coffee sold through Benecke became connected with J.J. Darboven, including coffee used for the Café Intención brand, and how becoming Fairtrade certified in 2007 helped COMSA increase its access to international markets.This first episode is the foundation for everything that follows.The later dispute cannot be understood simply as a customer failing to pay an invoice. COMSA says this was a commercial relationship built over more than twenty years, a relationship around which producers, financing arrangements, infrastructure and expectations of mutual performance developed.In the next episode, we go deeper into how that relationship expanded and the financial structure required for a cooperative like COMSA to fulfil large international coffee contracts.You can connect with COMSA here:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1c5tTT89Rw/?mibextid=wwXIfrInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/comsa_oficial/Website: https://www.comsa.hnLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/comsa-oficialEditorial Note:This episode forms part of Map It Forward's ongoing examination of the Benecke Coffee controversy.

Email support@mapitforward.org or DM @mapitforward.coffee to get started.Episode DescriptionThis is Part 5 of a five-part series of The Daily Coffee Pro Podcast by Map It Forward examining what happened between Benecke Coffee in Germany and coffee cooperatives in Peru pursuing claims for coffee they say remains unpaid.Across the first four episodes, the series followed the relationships between the cooperatives and Benecke, the movement of the coffee from Peru to Germany, the growing payment delays, the transition into insolvency, and the challenge of recovering money through an international creditor process.In this final episode, the focus changes.The question is no longer simply what happened?It is: What should the global coffee industry learn from this?Podcast host Lee Safar is joined by Emerson Carrasco, General Manager of Sanchirio Palomar Cooperative; Anabel Barrientos, General Manager of Ubiriki Valley Cooperative, and Óscar Inocente, a lawyer working with the affected Peruvian cooperatives. Ana Donneys continues translating for the series and is a contributor to the discussion.Emerson says that if Sanchirio had known Benecke was experiencing serious financial problems, the cooperative could have chosen not to ship and instead sold the coffee to buyers with stronger financial capacity.Anabel says one of the clearest lessons is that years of trading history cannot replace proper due diligence. She argues that cooperatives need to assess the financial position, debt, payment capacity and history of buyers before renewing contracts.Óscar broadens the discussion to the rest of the supply chain, arguing that risk and accountability need to be reconsidered across producers, cooperatives, buyers, certifiers and financiers.At the same time, he says he still believes in Fairtrade and sees this case as an opportunity for the system to improve rather than something that invalidates it.Ana Maria Donneys also joins the conversation as a producer, reminding us that behind every contract and container are people who may have invested months or years of work before receiving payment.Correction: Arthur E. Darboven ceased serving as Managing Director of the Benecke management company on 25 April 2024. His ownership position and any continuing involvement after that date remain under investigation.Connect with our guests here:Anabel Barrientos https://www.linkedin.com/company/cooperativa-cafetalera-valle-ubiriki‍ ‍gerencia@ubiriki.com.peEmerson Carrascohttps://www.linkedin.com/in/emerson-carrasco-791b9871/https://www.linkedin.com/company/sanchirio-pe ecarrasco@sanchirio.comOscar Innocenteoinocente@hotmail.comWhatsApp +51 995 147 869https://www.linkedin.com/in/oinocente/ For media, contact Nataly Fabrikantovahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/nataly-fabrikantova-82609219a/Editorial Note:This series concerns an active insolvency and ongoing creditor claims.

Ana Donneys continues translating for the series and is a contributor to the discussion.Emerson says that if Sanchirio had known Benecke was experiencing serious financial problems, the cooperative could have chosen not to ship and instead sold the coffee to buyers with stronger financial capacity.Anabel says one of the clearest lessons is that years of trading history cannot replace proper due diligence. She argues that cooperatives need to assess the financial position, debt, payment capacity and history of buyers before renewing contracts.Óscar broadens the discussion to the rest of the supply chain, arguing that risk and accountability need to be reconsidered across producers, cooperatives, buyers, certifiers and financiers.At the same time, he says he still believes in Fairtrade and sees this case as an opportunity for the system to improve rather than something that invalidates it.Ana Maria Donneys also joins the conversation as a producer, reminding us that behind every contract and container are people who may have invested months or years of work before receiving payment.Correction: Arthur E. Darboven ceased serving as Managing Director of the Benecke management company on 25 April 2024. His ownership position and any continuing involvement after that date remain under investigation.Connect with our guests here:Anabel Barrientos https://www.linkedin.com/company/cooperativa-cafetalera-valle-ubiriki‍ ‍gerencia@ubiriki.com.peEmerson Carrascohttps://www.linkedin.com/in/emerson-carrasco-791b9871/https://www.linkedin.com/company/sanchirio-pe ecarrasco@sanchirio.comOscar Innocenteoinocente@hotmail.comWhatsApp +51 995 147 869https://www.linkedin.com/in/oinocente/ For media, contact Nataly Fabrikantovahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/nataly-fabrikantova-82609219a/Editorial Note:This series concerns an active insolvency and ongoing creditor claims.

Ana Maria Donneys from Café Primitivo joins as translator.Óscar Inocente discusses the cooperatives' attempts to obtain clearer information from the insolvency administration and pursue retention-of-title claims over coffee they say remained unpaid.The episode also clarifies that Sucafina did not purchase Benecke Coffee. According to information provided directly to Map It Forward, Sucafina acquired Rehm-related assets from the insolvency estate.Anabel then explains how the unpaid amounts have affected Ubiriki Valley Cooperative. She says planned producer payments, training, inputs and other activities were disrupted, while available financing was reduced by roughly half.She says this reduced the cooperative's ability to contract coffee from around 90 containers to roughly 45.Emerson also raises a key unresolved question around one Sanchirio shipment. He says the administration stated that the coffee had been sold on 26 September 2025, while the cooperative's shipping trace shows the container arriving in Hamburg on 10 October.The cooperative is seeking documentation to understand when the coffee was actually sold and how it is being treated inside the insolvency.In Part 5, we ask what the wider coffee industry should learn from the case.Correction: Arthur E.

In this episode, delayed payments become an insolvency problem.Emerson Carrasco says Sanchirio began recognising warning signs when Benecke's payments during 2025 were taking more than 40 days, compared with the roughly 15–20 days he says was typical with other buyers.He says the cooperative repeatedly sought information and received reassurances from Clemens von Storch that payment would be made and that existing contracts should continue to be shipped.Then, on 24 October 2025, Emerson says Sanchirio received a letter stating that Benecke was entering insolvency under self-administration.The episode follows the cooperatives into the creditor process: uploading contracts, invoices, bills of lading and other evidence, registering their claims, and travelling to Hamburg for a creditors' meeting in April 2026.Óscar also discusses concerns about how creditor information was communicated and why some other cooperatives may not have registered in time.The final section introduces the retention-of-title issue.

Ana Maria Donneys from Café Primitivo joins the series as translator.Before getting into the Benecke dispute itself, this episode establishes who these cooperatives are and the role they play in the lives and businesses of hundreds of smallholder coffee producers.**Correction: In this episode, Arthur E. Darboven was described in a way that could suggest he remained part of Benecke Coffee's executive management during the 2025 payment crisis. Subsequent verification of corporate-register information indicates that he ceased serving as Managing Director of Benecke on 25 April 2024. His ownership position after that date, and any continuing involvement in Benecke's affairs, remain under investigation. We are updating the record accordingly.Emerson explains that Sanchirio Palomar represents 633 small coffee producers, including 220 women, while Anabel describes Ubiriki Valley as a cooperative with 845 members. The conversation explores the work cooperatives carry out across production support, certification, quality control, processing, financing, transportation and access to international coffee markets.That context matters because when an international coffee transaction fails, the unpaid invoice is only one part of the risk.The cooperatives have already financed coffee purchases, supported production, processed and prepared the coffee for export, managed certifications and logistics, and assumed significant commercial and financial exposure before receiving payment from an overseas buyer.The conversation then turns to how the cooperatives began working with Benecke Coffee.Anabel says Ubiriki had worked with Benecke for more than five years and historically had a good commercial relationship with the company, with approximately 25–30% of the cooperative's sales going through Benecke.Emerson says Sanchirio Palomar began trading with Benecke in 2025 and sold seven containers of organic Fairtrade coffee. According to Emerson, five containers were paid for while two remained unpaid at the time of recording.Óscar says the four Peruvian cooperatives he is working with are pursuing claims connected to approximately 18 containers with an estimated value of around US$3 million. He also says there may be additional cooperatives that were affected but did not become formally registered creditors in the insolvency proceedings.Episode 1 lays the foundation for the rest of the investigation: who the cooperatives represent, how much risk they carry, how the relationships with Benecke developed, and the scale of the claims now being pursued.In Episode 2, we follow the coffee from Peru to Germany to understand how these transactions were structured, when payment was expected, and where the commercial process began to break down.Connect with our guests here:Anabel Barrientoshttps://www.linkedin.com/company/cooperativa-cafetalera-valle-ubiriki‍ ‍gerencia@ubiriki.com.peEmerson Carrascohttps://www.linkedin.com/in/emerson-carrasco-791b9871/https://www.linkedin.com/company/sanchirio-peecarrasco@sanchirio.comOscar Innocenteoinocente@hotmail.comWhatsApp +51 995 147 869https://www.linkedin.com/in/oinocente/For media, contact Nataly Fabrikantovahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/nataly-fabrikantova-82609219a/Editorial Note:This series concerns an active insolvency and ongoing creditor claims.

He also says there may be additional cooperatives that were affected but did not become formally registered creditors in the insolvency proceedings.Episode 1 lays the foundation for the rest of the investigation: who the cooperatives represent, how much risk they carry, how the relationships with Benecke developed, and the scale of the claims now being pursued.In Episode 2, we follow the coffee from Peru to Germany to understand how these transactions were structured, when payment was expected, and where the commercial process began to break down.Connect with our guests here:Anabel Barrientoshttps://www.linkedin.com/company/cooperativa-cafetalera-valle-ubiriki‍ ‍gerencia@ubiriki.com.peEmerson Carrascohttps://www.linkedin.com/in/emerson-carrasco-791b9871/https://www.linkedin.com/company/sanchirio-peecarrasco@sanchirio.comOscar Innocenteoinocente@hotmail.comWhatsApp +51 995 147 869https://www.linkedin.com/in/oinocente/For media, contact Nataly Fabrikantovahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/nataly-fabrikantova-82609219a/Editorial Note:This series concerns an active insolvency and ongoing creditor claims.

Eine Familie unter Verdacht – Der Fall JonBenét RamseyEs ist eines der größten Mysterien in der amerikanischen Kriminalgeschichte: JonBenét, eine sechsjährige US-Schönheitskönigin, wird an Weihnachten 1996 aus ihrem Elternhaus in Boulder/ Colorado entführt. Die Entführer hinterlassen eine merkwürdig detaillierte, handgeschriebene Lösegeldforderung auf dem Briefpapier der Familie. Entgegen den Anweisungen informieren die Eltern die Polizei, doch kaum ist diese am Tatort, wird JonBenét von ihrem Vater erdrosselt im Keller aufgefunden. Die Bilder von der kleinen JonBenét gehen damals um die Welt, doch auch 30 Jahre später ist der Fall ungeklärt – und bis heute muss sich ihre Familie mit öffentlichen Spekulationen auseinandersetzen, ob sie selbst die Täter sein könnten.Hausmann & Benecke gehen den Fall noch einmal Schritt für Schritt durch und widmen sich den vielen offenen Fragen: Wurden bei den Ermittlungen tatsächlich Spuren übersehen? Wie ordnet Mark das Verhalten der Familie ein? Welchen Einfluss haben öffentliche Spekulationen auf Ermittlungen? Und: Wäre der Fall mit modernen Ermittlungsmethoden doch noch zu lösen?Alle weiteren Folgen findest du unter „Hausmann & Benecke – Echte Verbrechen“ hier auf RTL+. Jede Woche ein neuer, echter Fall.
