1 (Coffee as lead indicator for sustainable commodity crops) SKOV Seminar, Herbert van der Vossen,

2 About 85% of the people in Holland drink coffee daily P R E A M B L E Why? It s the caffeine stupid! (paraphrasing Bill Clinton) Mild stimulant of the CNS that improves: cognitive performance and mental processing wakefulness work performance and mood muscular endurance in work and sports blood flow in heart and kidneys metabolic rate (fat burning) Without this benign drug social and economic activities in many countries would rapidly grind to a halt!

3 Coffea arabica Origin: Ethiopia Coffea canephora Origin: C. & W. Africa

4 Coffee Production 2014 (8.5 M t, 12.5 M ha, >50 countries) % 11.9 % % Most important countries: 1 (Brazil) 10 (Honduras) = 86 % of W. C. Pr. % share in W. C. Pr. by Latin America, Africa and Asia

5 World coffee production 2014: 60 % 40%

6 Coffee supply chain: from plant tot cup Total annual turnover: > US$ 100 billion Value of exported green coffee: US$ 18 billion in 2014 (smallholder farmgate revenues only 50 60%)

7 Coffee One of the most valuable agricultural commodities 70 % of all coffee produced by smallholder farmers Coffee provides livelihoods to million rural families Women comprise half the workforce in coffee production Retaining the rural youth in coffee production major problem

8 Coffee production and consumption in 2020 Predicted growth in demand 15% or 1.3 Mt to 9.9 Mt Overall mean yield in 2014 was 680 kg/ha green coffee Another 1.9 Mha new land required, mostly by deforestation Narrowing the yield gap by % to 800 kg/ha is a sustainable alternative

9 Major aspects of narrowing the yield gap in coffee Soil quality and nutrient balance Shade (agroforestry) or no shade (sun-coffee) Control of diseases (host resistance) and pests (IPM) Crop management (access to information and training) Harvesting and primary processing (berries to green beans) Climate change impact (temperatures, drought, excess rain) Farmer s income (profitability, price volatilty, access to credits) Fair trade, organic farming and other certification systems

10 per ha/year N kg P kg K Kg Green beans (1.0 t dry weight) Pulp + parchment (1.25 t dry) Vegetative growth Total Crop related output (Van der Vossen, 2005)

26 Consequences of climate change on arabica coffee production Upward move in altitude and reduction of suitable land (more deforestation) Increasing disease and pests problems Declining productivity and cup quality Serious threat to the livelihoods of millions of farming families Brasil, Minas Gerais

31 A plethora of coffee certification systems! Promoting socio-economically and ecologically sustainable farming practices and market access for quality coffee Impact on farmer s net income often disappointing Share in the mainstream market growing but still fairly small Interest from large coffee roasters to support coffee farmers Coordination of all stakeholders of the coffee supply chain on substantial investments in sustainable coffee production
