DESCRIPTION

Unique in-depth study reveals only modest impact on farmers incomes. During the African Fine Coffee Conference & Exhibition on February 13-15, 2014 in Bujumbura, Burundi the results of an impact study by CIDIN where presented. Karugu Macharia, director of Solidaridad East-Africa, outlines its conclusions: ‘Certification and training alone won’t help African coffee farmers build a better future.
