Our challenges
Challenges today, opportunities tomorrow.
Innovation solves critical challenges and creates new and unimagined opportunities.
60% of global coffee supply comes from smallholder farmers.1
Farmers who have access to tools, technology, and knowledge are more likely to be profitable and to stick with farming.
5 countries produce 74% of the world’s coffee2
The world’s coffee supply is consolidating. Thriving origin diversity brings the economic benefits of coffee to farmers in more countries and gives roasters choices.
Coffee faces a $452 million/year innovation crisis3
To prevent supply instability, consolidation, and loss we need $452 million more per year to be invested in coffee agricultural R&D.
