The SCA’s Coffee Price Crisis Response Initiative, led former SCA Executive Director Ric Rhinehart and the SCA Sustainability Center, is aimed at understanding the crisis and providing alternative price discovery mechanisms for the coffee sector. Over the coming months, the SCA will host a series of webinars and events to amplify the work being done in this field by individuals in the private sector, academia, producing countries, and others in the coffee community.

The guide is an Emory University project that relies on an expanding group of data donours – roasters, importers, and exporters – who provide detailed contract data covering specialty coffee transactions from recent harvests. Using this anonymised information, the transaction guide serves as a report on the distributions of recent free on board prices for green specialty coffees. To register, click here.
