What is the purpose of the Coffee Farmer Fund?

The purpose of the Coffee Farmer Fund is to support coffee farmers with financial assistance during emergencies. This initiative recognizes the vulnerability of coffee farming communities to various disruptions, such as natural disasters, market fluctuations, and other crises that can threaten their livelihoods. By providing financial assistance, the fund helps farmers mitigate the impact of these emergencies, ensuring they can sustain their operations and maintain their income levels during challenging times.

This focus on supporting the farmers aligns with broader ethical sourcing practices, emphasizing the importance of nurturing the communities that contribute to the coffee supply chain. It helps create a more resilient coffee-growing sector by enabling farmers to recover and continue producing high-quality coffee, thereby benefiting not only the farmers themselves but also the coffee industry as a whole.
