Question ID: 729221
I want to know the names and some basic information about any publicly
listed companies that have their own coffee or black tea plantations,
and derrive revenue and profit from them.

The coffee/tea operations have to contribute significantly to
earnings, or the plantations have to make up a significant portion of
balance sheet value (latent or realised).

The companies also have to be listed and be able to be purchased via a
stock exchange. Any country is OK.

I do not need any stock price or historical financial information, but
if you have any insights into profit forecasts over the next few
years, this would be appreciated. Also, if you could find out the last
time the plantations were revalued, and the current average market
value per square metre in roughly the same area, it would help.

It seems that most plantations are either privately owned or owned in
collective coops. The few plantations that are owned by public
companies are often just a small source of profit- nestle for example
owns some coffee plantations.

I have listed what I did find so you can let me know if this is helpful or not. 

Thanks.

It is fairly easy to do a web search and come up with a list of names
like that but a list of names is a good start. What I need to know is
if they 1) have their own plantations, 2) how much do sales/profits
from these operations contribute to the total sales/profits at the
company, and 3) how valuable is their plantation, current market value
vs book value.
