Fairtrade 2.0 - Coffee Made in Africa (Fairtrade 2.0 - Coffee Made in Africa)
Project
Project code: TI-MA-08-MA-2022-2414
Contract period: 01.02.2022
- 31.01.2026
Purpose of research: Applied research
This project analyses coffee value chains in which the coffee processing and packaging takes primarily place in the producing African country and compares them to other coffee value chains. Many agricultural products are exported as raw materials from African countries; with the result that processing and thus the majority of value added takes place outside the producing African country. This is particularly true for products that are predominantly grown by smallholder farmers, such as coffee, cocoa and cotton. Fairtrade value chains have already been established and do little to change this fundamental problem for producers. Therefore, more and more initiatives try to expand and improve the conventional Fairtrade certification and to generate as much of the value added as possible within the producing place and with local population. These initiatives see themselves as "Fairtrade Plus" or "Fairchain" and often have the character of innovative start-ups.
