Description
To improve the livelihoods perspectives of smallholder coffee farmers, the project will generate and promote knowledge in origin countries on domestic quality markets, increased added value of coffee and coffee cherry products for coffee farmers and their organisations within origin countries and beyond. The project will put particular emphasis on developing and implementing strategies as well as related policies in origin countries and internationally. Together with project’s local partners, the research team will study the market- and livelihoods potential of high-quality coffee and coffee cherry products in two South American origin countries, Bolivia and Colombia.
