In December of 2022, JNP Coffee hosted its first private auction of specially selected small lots of coffee from different producers in Burundi. Over the many months of preparation required to prepare the auction – including the platform, the coffees, and the prospective bidders – JNP Founder Jeanine Niyonzima-Aroian learned many lessons, and in the spirit of sharing knowledge that might benefit other specialty coffee producers and green coffee sellers, she will be speaking about some of the challenges and opportunities she encountered in this session at the 2023 Green Coffee Summit.

The legislative landscape affecting global commodity trade is undergoing rapid changes. One major novelty is the emergence of due diligence regulation, which put increasing responsibility on companies to understand, prevent, and combat adverse social and environmental impacts in their value chains. This presentation with Dr. Janina Grabs, Associate Professor at ESADE Business School will first give an overview of the range of due diligence regulations that are proposed and already in force in countries around the globe. Second, it provides a deep dive into the EU Deforestation Regulation to outline potential scenarios of implementation and associated consequences for the sector. To do so, it draws both on experiences from the palm oil sector – which has had a 10-year head start in eliminating deforestation from its supply chains – as well as interviews with experts from the coffee sector on their views of current preparatory responses.

In this live panel discussion coffee experts Dr. Kraig Kraft, Dr. Tania Humphrey, R&D Director of World Coffee Research, and Dr. Jane Cheserek, Chief Research Scientist and Head of Coffee Breeding of CRI Kenya will explore the forefront of innovation in coffee breeding and genetic foot-printing, uncovering strategies to develop new coffee varieties and address the challenges of climate adaptation. This session promises valuable insights into reshaping the landscape of coffee agriculture, ensuring sustainable practices and enhanced value for farmers.

Join industry experts Stephanie Daniels of Sustainable Food Lab, José Rivera of Origin Coffee Lab, and Michael Sheridan at Coffee Quality Institute (formerly of Intelligentsia Coffee), in a live panel discussion to explore innovative value models and strategies designed to make a lasting impact through inclusive business practices. Discover the latest insights into sustainable sourcing that not only benefit the environment but also foster positive social change.

In this session Luis Fernando Samper will explore the role of intangibles in coffee. The role of intangibles in the process of value creation and distribution is often overlooked. However, as the new SCA Value assessment form suggests, specific provenance information, which SCA calls “extrinsic attributes” can generate value among procurement professionals as “signals” associated with quality. Leveraging these attributes to communicate to consumers with both emotional and rational arguments can be a significant driver for economic sustainability at origin/source level.

This live panel featuring industry leaders Dr. Mario Fernández of SCA, Oswaldo Acevedo at Hacienda El Roble, Elias Ariza from Penagos, and Hernando Tapasco at Cereza Cowill explore the intersection of the SCA Coffee Value Assessment and the Processing Revolution. Attendees will discover how innovative design of coffee attributes is shaping new market trends and how Coffee Value Assessment (CVA) informs these breakthroughs in coffee production and processing.

On Day 1 of the Green Coffee Summit SCA's Chief Sustainability and Knowledge Development Officer Kim Elena Ionescu will unveil the highly anticipated results of the Extrinsic Attributes Survey and explore fascinating insights and trends shaping the future of green coffee.
