Our Vision

The vision of International Coffee Partners (ICP) is to support smallholder coffee farmers improve their livelihoods by becoming more competitive, based on sustainable practices. Our objective is to contribute to establishing a fair and sustainable coffee sector in all coffee-producing countries.

A Starting Point from ICP

A Starting Point

12.4 million smallholder coffee farming families around the world are facing very similar challenges: Communities are growing older as youth migrate from rural to urban areas which seem to offer more opportunities and the kind of lifestyle they seek. Limited economic and social perspectives, combined with difficult intergenerational dialogue, restricted access to expertise, financial resources, and land, are drivers of this migration. This trend is exacerbated by the effects of climate change, environmental degradation, and price volatility. Gender inequalities additionally hamper the potentials of smallholder families as they constrain balanced decision taking and fair distribution of work and responsibilities. All these challenges are addressed by our work.
