We work in partnerships
We connect producers directly with markets to have a long-lasting impact, beyond the life of a project. We partner with companies that not only wish to invest in improving coffee quality and yields, but also in the systems that make those improvements possible for the future, such as higher prices, good genetic material for planting, and more direct, feasible and profitable supply chains for smallholder farmers.
Our partnerships
