Coffee Price Review

This ongoing review examines the Fairtrade Minimum and Premium prices for coffee, aiming to support producer resilience amid changing climate and cost pressures.

Topics under consultation:

Revising reference farm-gate prices to reflect rising production costs.
Evaluating incentives for sustainable practices (e.g., agroforestry, soil restoration).
Exploring differentiated pricing models for women-led and climate-adaptive farms.

A draft proposal will be circulated for comment in May 2026, with stakeholder feedback shaping the final pricing matrix expected to take effect in 2027.
