Welcome to International Coffee Partners

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.

Our worldwide projects are implemented by Hanns R. Neumann Stiftung (HRNS), a non-profit organization that acts as a bridge between ICP and smallholder families on the ground. HRNS plays an integral role in engaging with these families on a daily basis, while also administering ICP.
