IWCA Participated in World Coffee Conference
The IWCA participated in the World Coffee Conference, February 26-28, 2010 in
Guatemala City. The event welcomed 77 ICO Member Governments, the private sector and other organizations to help further the International Coffee Agreement 2007 initiatives to strengthen the global coffee sector and promote its sustainable expansion in a market-based environment for the betterment of all participants in the sector.
With a focus on Coffee for the Future: Towards a Sustainable Coffee Sector, the Conference welcomed delegates of the ICO to cover a range of topics focusing on Economic Sustainability: the economics of production; Economic Sustainability: the economics of demand; Environmental Sustainability and Social Sustainability.
The IWCA participated in the Social Sustainability segment, with a focus on maintaining substantial rural employment and stable coffee-growing communities.
