Behind every delicious cup of NESCAFÉ are farmers that bring your favorite coffee to life and it’s not always easy. We want to help farmers become more resilient in the face of climate change and related challenges. Particularly vulnerable are the hundreds of thousands of smallholder farmers in NESCAFÉ value chains that can play a big part in mitigating climate change. To help, we’ve created a program to support smallholder farmer resilience by training farmers to help them become more efficient, prosperous, resilient, and sustainable. After all, we recognize that the success of NESCAFÉ is thanks to the hard work and dedication of the people who make it all possible.
Simple is brilliant
NESCAFÉ agronomists and field staff help farmers gain the edge they need to flourish. In Honduras, we helped farmers dry their coffee beans using solar power. These solar driers cost almost nothing to operate and help farmers to produce better quality. Dry beans preserve their quality for longer, giving farmers more time to negotiate a better price and decide the best moment to sell. Thanks to solar driers, farmers in Honduras were able to get 10% higher prices, proving that even the simplest change can make a real difference.
