Descripción
Coffee, in dollar terms is the most traded agricultural product in the world. Coffee throughout the world including the Asia/Pacific region supports millions of small farmers and their families. With world coffee prices are at their lowest levels for many years the very existence of many small farmers is at stake. Such prices represent a real threat to the industry. There is an opportunity to improve farm incomes through sustainable production of high value, high quality Specialty coffee and Org anic coffee. Thus, this Round-table has been organised, at this critical time, to derive ways to urgently assist small farmers and the coffee industry in the region with timely practical interventions.
