While investors are spending billions in coffee-company acquisitions and mergers, coffee production is under threat.
Without major efforts to adapt to climate change, increase transparency in the value chain, and improve social conditions on farms, coffee sector expansion is being built on quicksand.
These are the main conclusions of the recently released Coffee Barometer 2018 report, a collaboration of Conservation International, COSA, Hivos, Oxfam-Worldshops, Safe Platform and Solidaridad.
To avoid this, major stakeholders have to be proactive and define collaborative responses to deal with these challenges.
Solidaridad invites the industry and donors to join and support these initiatives.
