A JOURNEY OF RESILIENCE AND SUCCESS
Women worked very hard on the family coffee farm, (without considering that their day does not end in the fields but continues at home, taking care of the family, cooking, cleanning and more.) but it is alwavs their husband who would speak with coffee buyers and sell the crop.
CHALLENGES FACED BY WOMEN IN COFFEE PRODUCTION
The majority of the world's coffee is grown by smallholder farming families, where women
and men often work side-by-side to nurture and harvest the crop.
But overwhelmingly, it's men who hold formal title over the land, and this contributes to other inequalities in coffee: women are less likely to participate in farmer cooperatives, receive agricultural training and services,
access credit to invest in their farm, market the crop,
or control the earnings from coffee sales.
EMPOWERING WOMEN IN COFFEE: POSITIVE INITIATIVES AND PROGRESS
In recent years we have been talking about nothing but the environment, organic coffee etc, noble causes that we all support and agree, but little or nothing about the women who work in the fields without any recognition or support.
This is the ongoing work that the non-profit association IWCA (International Women's Coffee Alliance) does around the world, to elevate woman voice, independence, respect and above all credit for the work they do.
THE FUTURE OF WOMEN IN COFFEE
Women have always been an integral part
of coffee production, but their contributions have often been underappreciated or overlooked.
As the coffee industry evolves, it is crucial to continue recognizing and supporting the role of women in coffee farming, processing, roasting, and distribution.
By empowering women and breaking down
the barriers they face, we can help
create a more inclusive and sustainable coffee industry, where the contributions of all individuals, regardless of gender, are valued and celebrated.
