Brewing Change: Impact and Investment Opportunities in Coffee Value Chains

In this report, we look at evidence from IDH’s broad experience working with coffee companies globally. Specifically, we draw insights from unique sources, including a standardised database of 36 service delivery models in coffee value chains, technical assistance programs, value chain development initiatives, and qualitative insights from interacting with coffee companies and farmers.

Brewing Change examines sustainable coffee sourcing strategies that benefit both businesses and smallholder farmers, focusing on innovative approaches to make coffee commercially viable from crop to cup through targeted investments. It will guide companies on assessing and quantifying the return on investment (ROI) for investments in service delivery to smallholder farmers.
