Together for the Community
Lavazza and International Coffee Partners aim to solve the problem of the productivity of the Indonesian territory, through support and training operations within the communities.
The challenge
The Indonesian archipelago is the fourth largest coffee producer in the world. There are at least
five million coffee producers who need to learn good agricultural practices and learn basic information in order to access the market.
In recent years, the ageing of plants has led to a decline in productivity and has
led to the coffee farmers’ communities struggling to survive.
The objectives
Make the production and sale of coffee a profitable business for communities.
Make production sustainable from an environmental point of view, and resistant to climate change.
Make production sustainable from an environmental point of view, and resistant to climate change.
The answer
Through International Coffee Partners, the Lavazza Foundation has supported a project
aimed at creating 21 farmers' organisations and financial savings and
credit plans.
In addition, it has contributed to the foundation of 15 organisations within which the
producers are trained in the quality of coffee and in market access, thus receiving the tools to increase their profits and improve their living conditions.
