Just over 20 years ago Nestlé China started with a program to support a sustainable coffee development in Yunnan province. Nestlé set up a Buying Station where farmers can directly deliver their coffee, without the need of middlemen, and started giving free training and technical assistance. All our services are available for all coffee growers, but with a special focus on the small-scale farmers. The combination of increasing the knowledge of farmers on coffee cultivation and farm management, with providing a reliable market has proven to be very successful, especially for villages and small-scale farmers. Last week Nestlé China's efforts have been awarded with a World Business and Development Award, which was presented at a ceremony on the Eve of Rio+20 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

AuthorI wouldn't be surprised to find out I was born with a passion for coffee. For the life of me, I can't remember not loving coffee. And by that, I don't just mean drinking it, but everything involved from its cultivation over the processing to the final product that is my loyal companion throughout the day. Archives
