At World of Coffee Geneva, the Coffee Quality Institute (CQI) and the Progreso Foundation have officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that marks the beginning of a one-year strategic partnership aimed at enhancing coffee quality and supporting producers across Latin America, Africa, and Asia.
The agreement outlines a collaborative framework between the two organizations to:
-
Deliver post-harvest processing training and certification programs.
-
Strengthen producer organizations through tailored technical support and business development.
-
Facilitate greater market access and improve income opportunities at the producer level.

Both organizations emphasized their shared commitment to fostering a more equitable and resilient coffee sector through capacity building and market integration. The collaboration is expected to create new pathways for producers to thrive in a challenging and competitive global coffee economy.
