Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>The World Coffee Producers Forum (WCPF) which concluded in Kigali on Tuesday, February 14, recommended research on climate-resilient varieties.<\/p>\n

The recommendation which is part of Kigali Declaration was made considering that climate change is affecting the livelihoods of coffee farmers who are becoming even more vulnerable and impacting the quality and quantity of coffee produced.<\/p>\n

The declaration calls for International environmental regulations that include the entire coffee value chain.<\/p>\n

The forum also recommended knowledge transfer and capacity building on good agricultural practices as well as considering coffee tree cultivation as afforestation and carbon credit inclusive.<\/p>\n

The forum concluded that coffee producers\u2019 income is not enough and that \u201cThe cost of production is not always covered and paying farmers below the cost of production is an injustice.<\/p>\n

The cost of production is increasing due to the price of inputs and additional requirements of industry like certification, and transition to regenerative agriculture among others.\u201d<\/p>\n

Call for fair prices<\/p>\n

“Farmers should be compensated by good prices and also for their efforts to increase productivity leading to the improvement of income generation, thus contributing to prosperity,\u201d said the Kigali declaration.<\/p>\n

Agnes Nyinawumuntu, the president of Twongerumusaruro cooperative said: \u201cThe cost of coffee production is not reflected in the coffee price. Coffee producers should be included in defining the price for their produce. We need more opportunities to learn from other countries that are ahead of us in the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roberto Velez Vallejo, the CEO Colombian Coffee Growers Federation said: \u201cFor producers what is key is the price of our product. That is why we cannot stop to say that we need a price for a prosperous coffee farming family.\u201d<\/p>\n

He noted that the coffee industry generates over $200 billion around the world.<\/p>\n

However, he said: \u201cOut of that coffee producers, we do get 20 percent,\u2019 calling for a price that is fair for coffee producers.<\/p>\n

The CEO of the National Agricultural Export Development Board (NAEB), Claude Bizimana said: \u201cwe have discussed different topics that seek ways to address the challenges that limit the coffee sector\u2019s development.<\/p>\n

We were very privileged to have groups of experts in the coffee sector from different continents sharing with us the practices that need to be implemented to address issues related to improving coffee growers’ living income, climate change, and environmental regulations.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also invited delegates to attend the African Fine Coffees Conference & Exhibition to be held from February 15 to 17, 2023 at the Kigali Convention Centre.<\/p>\n
