Home/ Industries/ Coffee

Coffee is a major crop for smallholders in many developing countries. Unstable prices and non-transparent trading systems have attracted the attention of fair-trade and mainstream companies looking to apply approaches to responsible business.

NRET personnel have worked on coffee in Africa with fair-trade organisations and with mainstream companies and trade organisations.
