Up from 2.5 million bags reported in the previous year, this significant increase emphasises the coffee sector’s long-term commitment and progress towards sustainability.
This demonstrates the efforts and cooperation of stakeholders throughout the coffee supply chain to actively build a thriving, sustainable coffee sector.
“This is a remarkable achievement,” said Robert Waggwa Nsibirwa, chairman of the 4C Council and vice chairman of the African Fine Coffees Association (AFCA). “From farmers through to roasters and retailers, 4C Members have been working hard to improve their practices towards sustainability. The growth in the supply and demand of 4C Compliant Coffee is a distinct indicator of the importance of the 4C Association to advance good economic, social and environmental practices across the coffee industry.”
