Recommendations for more inclusive business models
We are excited to launch “Rethinking procurement models in the coffee sector: recommendations for more inclusive business models”. In this publication, we explore what inclusive purchasing looks like in practice, and how it can contribute to a more equitable coffee sector for everyone involved.
We assessed the extent to which the business models we support in our sustainable coffee programme in Africa, Southeast Asia and Latin America align with the principles of inclusivity and equity as referenced in CIAT’s LINK methodology, the Coffee Barometer, SCA’s Equitable Value Distribution paper, and VOCAL’s responsible procurement practices paper.
We particularly looked at how a range of practices, such as pricing and contracts and risk sharing and practices that support coffee production, access to finance, women, youth, joint innovation, transparency and accountability, contribute to addressing existing inequalities in the coffee sector.
“Besides identifying insights that help us refine our own strategies, we have also identified high-potential best practices for private sector companies and for service providers like Rikolto to enhance their efforts to foster more inclusive and equitable business models.”
