National Coffee Platforms are providing a pathway to a more prosperous coffee sector—a sector that produces the quality and quantity of coffee necessary to create a self-supporting, high-yield industry. A sector that grows and sells ethical, excellent coffee in a way that protects national resources as well as the livelihoods of farmers.
Each chapter profiles the countries efforts in fostering coffee-specific dialogue between public and private sectors. The National Coffee Platforms bring together government representatives, policy makers, producers, and trade-, industry-, and knowledge-leaders. They create an environment in which common goals are recognized, and common visions are shared.
As National Coffee Platform structures grow and continue to improve, local stakeholders become more resilient and resourceful. This intern translates into the international coffee market being better served by thriving producing countries able to create and protect their own industries.
