On International Coffee Day, a new alliance of civil society organisations in coffee (the Voice of Organisations in Coffee Alliance) releases their first report: “Coffee’s Regulatory Blend”.
This report points to the benefits of the upcoming regulations in the coffee sectors, and urges the sector to catch up and step up on their compliance, rather than pushing back. It also calls on the EU to not bow to pressure to reopen the negotiations on the regulation, and provide support to smallholders.
