As part of the 40th anniversary of the International Coffee Organization, we have published an important new study in collaboration with the International Institute for Sustainable Development, UNCTAD, and the World Bank that is the product of two years' work. It represents a significant contribution towards understanding the scope and outlook for such products and their role in the future sustainability of an entire industry.

The study: “The State of Sustainable Coffee – A study of 12 major markets” collects the efforts of 11 researchers under the guidance of Daniele Giovannucci, its primary author. It represents a groundbreaking and comprehensive approach to the characteristics and trends of these markets that have, until now, not been well understood.

A copy of the executive summary of the book is available in pdf format - click here.

Printed copies (200 pages) are available through the ICO at a cost of £20 each.
