WELCOME

A network of coffee, a coffee producer family

In the midst of a reality filled with major challenges such as growers’ economic sustainability, farming levels, price volatility on international markets, the increasing demand for more than 50 million bags over the next 10 to 15 years and climate adversity, the 2019 Edition of the World Forum Coffee Producers will bring coffee-growing nations together for discussions relating to common interest issues, such as the revenue of coffee growers, environmental issues, climate and sustainability.
All this so that more than 25 million families who grow beans and create the drink that satisfies the most diverse tastes around the world can keep growth and quality scaling.
