We're hosting another panel event on Saturday, June 18 - 11am EST.

Many of you who work in coffee are aware that in the past couple of years, due to many global stresses, the price of coffee on the commodity market has been extremely volatile, and has mostly trended upward. This means that the price to purchase coffee has gone up, but for many coffee producers, the expense to produce coffee has increased at an even greater rate.

Everyone's cost to do business has gone up, and we think it's important for producers to be driving these conversations to encourage all market actors to consider any kind of positive change.

The purpose of this panel event is to offer visibility for the producer experience when it comes to talking about price, and attempt to underline some of the more vulnerable aspects to price transparency that are often overlooked. We hope to host a second event in this series to hear from women in export who are seeing rising costs there, as well.

Panelists include:
☕Katia Duke, a specialty coffee producer and previously coordinator of the sub-chapter in Copán, Honduras, of the International Women’s Coffee Alliance.

☕Ana Sofia Narvaez, Relationship Builder for green coffee exporter & importer Caravela Coffee, originally from Nicaragua but currently based out of Guatemala City.

☕Yaquelin Sanabria Caldon, a third-generation coffee grower from Huila, Colombia.

☕Cynthia La Rue, a 4th generation coffee producer from Jinotega, Nicaragua.

Stay tuned this week for more background on this incredible group of producers and coffee professionals. The event will be in Spanish and English with live interpretation available.
